"Haha." Zhu Chen continued to study his map.
Qi Jiaming took a puff of his cigarette and said in a low voice,""There's something that I've never dared to tell anyone, and I'm only telling you. I think that the higher-ups have never considered our battalion's escape route. After all, to those big shots, it's just a mere battalion of four hundred people.”
"From the moment we stepped into the warehouse,"
"Our 1st Battalion has already been removed from the 88th Division's organizational chart.”
Zhu Chen waved his hand and said,"Old Qi, don't complain. Complaining won't solve any problems."”
Speaking of this, Zhu Chen spread out the map and said,"If you have the time to complain, why don't you study the map with me and see if you can find a way out?”
"So you didn't hear a single word I said?" Qi Jiaming asked in surprise.”
"Listen to what?" Zhu Chen said," I can only hear you complaining here.”
Qi Jiaming's expression became solemn as he said in a deep voice,""Old Zhu, are you serious?"
"Nonsense." Zhu Chen said angrily," I personally promised the regiment commander that I would bring out the surviving brothers of our battalion. I will definitely do what I said. I'm not joking!”
"The problem is that it's impossible!" Qi Jiaming said.”
"Everything depends on one's effort." Zhu Chen said," You haven't even tried. How can you make such a conclusion?”
Seeing that Zhu Chen didn't seem to be joking, Qi Jiaming also became serious and asked,""Have you found the route?"
"Not yet." Zhu Chen shook his head and then said," But there's no hurry now. The National League Conference in Bruxley has been postponed. We have to guard the warehouse in Sihang.”
"Yes, I am." Qi Jiaming sighed." Another three days."”
"Therefore, you don't need to spend any effort to study any escape routes.”
"If we attack again like today, our battalion will be finished.”
"However, those big shots 'intentions should have been achieved. After all, we fought this battle quite well. Those foreign reporters and observers on the other side have also seen it.”
"Seeing that we fought so miserably,"
"No matter what, those foreign lords have to show mercy."
"No matter what, I have to condemn the Japanese.”
"As for the punishment, don't even think about it.”
"Only those big shots think that the foreigners will uphold justice.”
Zhu Chen said,"Here we go again. Can't you say anything else besides grumbling?"”
"Am I not telling the truth?”Qi Jiaming said," We have less than 200 people left.”
Zhu Chen said," The truth is, we have 200 casualties, but the Japanese army's casualties are ten times ours. Do you think the Japanese higher-ups can withstand another attack like today?"”
"For a small warehouse, the Japanese army is willing to sacrifice 5,000 people?”
"You don't think that the Japanese army has an endless source of soldiers, do you?”
Qi Jiaming was stunned. He had never thought of this question.
" The truth is, before the Japanese government and the concession's Ministry of Works come to a conclusion, there won't be any large-scale battles in the four warehouses." Zhu Chen continued.”
"But small-scale attacks will not stop."
"Therefore, we have plenty of time to prepare.”
"Do you still think that studying the escape route is unnecessary?”
" This…" Qi Jiaming was speechless.
……
Zhu Chen's analysis made sense!
The five squadrons of the 68th Infantry Regiment that had been sent into the attack were all wiped out!
The number of casualties was as high as 1300. Even the regiment commander, the Guards, died on the spot!
This result not only shocked the Western observers in the sky, but also shocked Fujita, the commander of the Japanese 3rd Division.
Fujita Shin didn't expect this result.
In terms of casualties, a mere thousand people was actually nothing.
The Battle of Songhu lasted for more than three months, and the Japanese casualties were close to 100,000!
Although the number of casualties publicly announced was only 40,000, as the commander, Fujita knew the truth. The number of casualties of the Japanese army in the Battle of Shanghai was close to 100,000.
Therefore, compared to 100,000 people, 1,000 people were nothing.
However, considering that the 68th Infantry Regiment only had one opponent, this was shocking!
The Japanese army was fighting against the Chinese army. Not only did they fail to quickly eliminate the enemy, but they also lost more than 1,000 people. If the losses from the previous two days were included, it would have already exceeded 2,000!
Moreover, this was the number of deaths, not casualties!
Such a number of deaths was simply unbelievable.
If it hadn't happened in his division, Fujita would never have believed it.
After receiving the report, Fujita Shin brought Chief of Staff Tajiri Rishio to the train station.
He wanted to take a look at the four-row warehouse and see what the building that had swallowed more than two thousand imperial weapons of the Imperium looked like. Did it have a big bloody mouth?
