At the same time Zhu Chen provoked the Guards.
Joseph, Edward, and other international observers also boarded the cabin of the airship from the rooftop of the Chinachem Hotel on the Bund, ready to start the "observation work" the next day.
It was mainly to monitor whether the Japanese army had violated the rules and used heavy artillery.
"Joseph, this is the third day, right?" Edward asked.”
"Yes." Joseph said," It's been four days since the 524th Regiment of the 88th Division entered the Sihang Warehouse, but it's only been three days since the two sides officially started fighting.”
"So this is the last day?" Edward asked.”
"If I remember correctly, the mission given to Regiment 524 by the National Government is to hold on for three days.”
"Not necessarily." Joseph said," Didn't you hear the news from the Agence France-Presse? After the scandal of the Prime Minister of belgium, the date of the League of Nations meeting had been postponed.”
"Oh my god." Edward couldn't help but cross his chest." Poor Regiment 524.”
"I don't think so." Joseph said with great interest," Perhaps today, Regiment 524 will give us an even bigger surprise.”
As the two attendants were talking,
An observer suddenly exclaimed.
"Oh, God, what did I just see?”
"A military flag, that's a flag of the Celestial Empire!”
"Are the people of China crazy? Why did they provoke the Japanese?”
Joseph and Edward turned around in surprise and saw a flag of the Celestial Empire fluttering in the wind on the rooftop of the four-row warehouse.
" This..." Edward was flabbergasted." Why would they do that?" This would obviously infuriate the Japanese army. What good would it do them?”
"Just for the so-called face?"
"This is really puzzling behavior.”
"Perhaps there's a deeper meaning to this move," Joseph said.”
"There's a deeper meaning?" Edward shrugged and said," What other meaning could there be?”
"I don't know." Joseph said," But we might as well wait and see how things develop.”
……
The foreigners did not understand the intention of Regiment 524.
However, the three million residents of Hujiang City in the International Settlement had already felt encouraged.
After the citizens of Hujiang woke up, they found that there was an additional military flag on the roof of the four-row warehouse, so they ran around to tell everyone.
After receiving the news, his slumbering heart gradually woke up. His will that had cooled down became fiery again. The national army was still resisting!
There was still hope for China!
Hence, countless commoners flocked to Suzhou Road.
They cheered for Regiment 524 across Suzhou Creek.
"Brothers of the national army, beat them to death!”
"If you kill one, I'll reward you with ten dollars!”
"Brother Abing from the other side, you guys are really cool.”
"Magnificent, magnificent! The spirit of our army is still here."
"Let's play the drums. Today, our Three Jade Garden will only sing Changban Slope!”
"Tell the people outside that regardless of gender, age, or age, everyone can enter the garden to watch for free. It's not for anything else, but to cheer for our brothers and soldiers on the other side!”
……
In the cabin of the airship.
Looking at the surging crowd on Suzhou Road, Joseph suddenly realized something and said,"I seem to understand now. The 524th Regiment is doing this to inspire people!”
"Inspirational?" Edward said," If that's the case, it seems that they have achieved their goal?”
" I don't care if the 524th Regiment can achieve their goal," Joseph said with a smile." I don't think such a spectacle will ever happen again in the history of human civilization."”
"What do you mean?" Edward said.
Joseph said," I've only heard of home fans coming to cheer at sports games. When have you ever seen home fans cheering in a war?”
"It really is!" " Since ancient times, both sides of the war have been far away from the crowd and specifically seek out the uninhabited areas for brutal battles. Even if they cannot avoid the city, they will try their best to evacuate the crowd before the war. Therefore, I'm afraid that only the soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty have the honor of fighting the enemy army to the death in front of hundreds of thousands or even millions of their own citizens.”
Joseph nodded." This battle alone is enough to go down in history."”
Edward agreed.
……
On the rooftop of the four-row warehouse.
The 1st Battalion of the 524th Regiment, except for the sentries, was all present.
Under the leadership of Xie Jin Yuan, a solemn flag-raising ceremony was held.
After the flag-raising ceremony, Xie Jinyuan admonished as usual.
After scolding him, he turned around and saw that Zhu Chen had already sneaked to the rooftop. He was facing the direction of the train station, relieving himself, making a gesture of slashing his throat, and finally firing a shot.
Xie Jin Yuan's face darkened,"Old Zhu, what are you doing?"”
How outrageous. He actually went to the toilet in public. He was simply a scoundrel.
"Nothing much." Zhu Chen chuckled." Say hello to the other side.”
"You call this greeting?" Xie Jin Yuan was angered and laughed," You're such a scoundrel."”
