To the east of Sihang Warehouse, across Suzhou Creek, was Suzhou Department Store.
The Suzhou Department Store was a twelve-story building. There was an observation deck on the rooftop of the building. From the observation deck, one could have a panoramic view of the battlefield on the north side of the four-row warehouse.
With the addition of the five armored vehicles, the situation on the battlefield instantly took a turn for the worse.
Because the Vickers armored vehicles were protected by thick steel plates, the heavy machine guns on the vehicles could suppress the firing points on the north wall of the four-row warehouse without any restraint.
However, the 524th Regiment had no way to deal with the Japanese armored vehicles.
Seeing this scene, it wasn't just the soldiers of Regiment 524 who were anxious.
The few big shots who were watching the battle on the rooftop of the Suzhou Department Store were also anxious.
One of them was Lady He Xiangning, the remnant frost of Liao Zhongkai.
Standing next to Ms. He was the Chief of Staff of the 88th Division, Major General Zhang Baiting.
Seeing that the firepower of the 524th Regiment was completely suppressed, Ms. He couldn't help but be anxious. She turned around and asked Zhang Baiting,""Bai Ting, does the 524th Regiment have a flat-fire cannon?”
"No, I haven't." Zhang Baiting said bitterly," The 524th Regiment doesn't have a single cannon.”
"What should we do?" Ms. He frowned." Without cannons, we can't hit the armored vehicles of the Japanese pirates.”
Zhang Baiting's lips trembled. He wanted to say that there was still a way, but it was too tragic.
However, Zhang Baiting took back his words. To be honest, the 524th Regiment had done well enough. As the Chief of Staff, he couldn't ask for more.
……
Apart from the rooftop of the Suzhou Department Store, there was an even better viewing platform.
It was the airship of the Ten Thousand Countries Business Group floating in the air. Hanging below the airship was a transparent pod.
Through the transparent glass of the pod, one could clearly see the battlefield on the north side of the four-row warehouse, including the five Vickers armored vehicles.
The so-called observation team sat in the pod.
The leader was Colonel Joseph, the military attaché of the American embassy in Shanghai.
There was also Baron Edward, the political counselor of the Eagle Country's embassy in Shanghai.
Edward had served in the military before, so he was quite familiar with the military.
Seeing that the situation on the battlefield had taken a turn for the worse after the Japanese entered the armored vehicles, Edward shook his head and said,""The equipment of the Chinese army is too poor. This battle is already lost.”
"Yes." Joseph added," Only a madman would expect 800 soldiers to complete a mission that even 700,000 elite soldiers couldn't complete.”
"What a pity." Edward sighed." These 800 soldiers are going to be slaughtered by the Japanese again. This is a depressing result.”
Joseph shrugged his shoulders.
……
"Guild Leader, what should we do?"
"The Japanese army is already blasting!"
Yang Ruifu asked with a solemn expression.
"Can't the corpse bomb reach it?"”
"It's not a problem to bomb the Japanese engineers, but it's not worth it.”Yang Ruifu said," The armored vehicles that bombed the Japanese army can't reach it. It's too far away."”
"Then we have no choice." Xie Jinyuan said sadly," Form a suicide squad!”
"Yes, sir!" Yang Ruifu raised his hand and saluted, then quickly descended from the zipline to the hall on the first floor.
"The regimental commander has ordered us to organize a suicide squad to blow up the Japanese armored vehicles.”
The hall instantly fell into a dead silence. Old Tie, Old Abacus, and a dozen other deserters subconsciously hid behind, afraid that Yang Ruifu would call their names.
"Who is willing to go?" Yang Ruifu asked again.
"Battalion Commander, I'll go." A second lieutenant stepped forward.
"Count me in!" Another first-class soldier stepped forward.
"And me!" A sergeant was the third to step forward.
In the blink of an eye, there were already more than 30 veterans standing in front of Yang Ruifu.
Yang Ruifu nodded and immediately shouted,"Shangguan, tie the backpack!"
Shangguan Zhibiao immediately led his men to soak the backpack and tie it to the chest of the suicide squad member.
Even if the backpack was soaked, it wouldn't be able to withstand bullets, but it was better than nothing.
Yang Ruifu walked up to Reporter Fang, who had come over in the morning, and said sadly,"Reporter Fang, take a photo of our brothers so that their families can remember them.”
"Good!" Reporter Fang nodded solemnly.
Then, he went forward to take photos of the suicide squad members one by one.
When it was the second lieutenant's turn, he suddenly grinned.
Seeing this innocent smile, Reporter Fang's tears flowed down.
Thinking that this smiling face would soon leave this world forever, and that his family would only be able to look at his photo to relieve their longing, Reporter Fang felt a heart-wrenching pain.
"Reporter Fang, don't be sad." The second lieutenant comforted him instead." It's a blessing to have a husband like Xu Guo!”
After saying this, the second lieutenant said to Yang Ruifu,"Battalion Commander, and brothers, let's meet again in the next life!”
"Brothers, see you in the next life!" After the rest of the members finished speaking, they turned around and rushed to the door.
