A Japanese squad under the command of Kazuo Akutagawa himself, except for a few casualties and the bait assigned to the main entrance, the remaining 40 or so people all entered the building with him, and were making final preparations in the corridor at the moment. Kazuo Akutagawa was not unaware that the stairs connecting to the second floor had been blown up, but they brought ladders through which his soldiers could climb up to the second floor if they managed to suppress the fire.

"Let's get started!" After a moment's thought, Akutagawa finally turned around and nodded to one of his soldiers standing in front of the door, who saw Akutagawa Kazuo nodding, so Amash ran into the room, and through the open window, he shook the small flag on his rifle vigorously towards the third squad left behind in the distance. This was a signal, and it was also an order from Kazuo Akutagawa, as long as he saw the small flag waving on the side of the building, the third team that stayed in place would immediately follow suit.

"Quick, let's go." When the third squadron of the Akutagawa squadron saw the signal coming from the building, they immediately ran towards the building, and in their opinion, Kazuo Akutagawa, who had stormed the building, might have taken control of the situation. Everything seemed to be developing as the Japanese army wanted, but just as Akutagawa Kazuo in the building was about to give the order to attack, two holes suddenly appeared above his head, and two * had been pulled and burned * bags, one after the other, fell from the sky and fell between Akutagawa Kazuo and them.

"Nani?" Kazuo Akutagawa, who was originally determined to be full of confidence, stared at the * bag that fell at his feet with wide eyes, and the confidence on his original face was gone, replaced by fear and incomprehension. "Boom" and "Boom" did not leave much time for Akutagawa Kazuo and others to react at all, and when they fell into the * bag among them, they exploded one after another. Kazuo Akutagawa, who was almost standing on top of the bag, only felt that his eyes lit up, and then it was dark again, and he didn't know anything.

The sudden explosion of the * bag caused the corridor to be filled with heat waves and flames, and Akutagawa Kazuo used the 40 or so Japanese soldiers under his command to turn into flesh and blood in an instant, even if there were a few lucky guys who could escape this catastrophe. But the two explosions that broke out in such a small space, the shock wave mixed with the heat wave, were enough for these lucky people to drink a pot, and even if they hid in the room, they were still shocked by the huge explosion and their eyes were blackened.

After consuming only two * packs, he simply killed more than 40 Japanese soldiers, and Lu Yuan, who was left alone on the 2nd floor, was full of smiles at the moment. Almost at the same time, the Japanese soldiers outside the building also heard a huge explosion, and they all saw the fire and smoke sprayed from the first floor, and almost everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them. At this moment, the most embarrassing may be the third squad belonging to the Akutagawa squadron, there was a sudden explosion in the building, and the squadron leader and others were obviously unlucky, in this case, is it still necessary for them to continue to move forward?

The soldiers of the third squad, who were not far from the building, all turned their heads to look at their squad leader Saito at this moment, but Saito was just a squad leader, and behind them, the officers of those gendarmerie units were all high in rank by Saito. So when Saito was hesitating, Nagano Iichi, who had been playing a bystander, took over the command without hesitation, and immediately ordered all the remaining forces of the Akutagawa squadron to be withdrawn.

Although the field army and the gendarmerie unit do not belong to the same system, Saito is only a small infantry second lieutenant, and when facing Nagano Iichi, the military police officer, Saito really does not have much confidence. The Japanese army withdrew, and the cheers of Wang San and others sounded in the building, but Lu Yuan ordered no one to enter the second floor, because he had already arranged a lot of * and * on the second floor. "The Japanese army will attack sooner or later, so we need to prepare in advance." The reason given by Lu Yuan seemed a little perfunctory, but no one who was immersed in joy at the moment cared about this at all.

After several successive attacks failed to get back the headquarters building, the high-ranking members of the dispatch army who heard about this incident were collectively furious, and when the second Songhu Battle was launched, the once invincible Japanese army had learned it once. Sixing Warehouse, which is a place that many Japanese soldiers will never forget, is such a warehouse and hundreds of soldiers of the National Army, but the Japanese army has not been able to end the battle in Shanghai. In the end, if it weren't for the fact that the foreigners in the concession were worried that they would be affected by the war, since they had escaped the Nationalist government's persuasion of the defenders in the warehouse to evacuate on their own initiative, perhaps the Sixing warehouse would have been nailed to the throat of the Japanese army in Shanghai.

The situation is almost the same as it was at the beginning, the only difference is that at the beginning the soldiers occupied only a warehouse, and now, what the Japanese army has lost is their headquarters building. Like the Sixing Warehouse, the Japanese headquarters building is also high and thick, and Lu Yuan blew up the stairs leading to the upper floors early in the morning, except for the advantage in numbers, the Japanese army on the attacking side actually does not have much advantage.

After several attacks in more than a day, the Japanese army returned in vain, and just now, they also caught up with Akutagawa Kazuo, an infantry lieutenant, and almost two infantry squad soldiers, such losses were too heavy for the Japanese army to accept. Coincidentally, just when the top brass of the dispatch army was furious about this matter, those pervasive reporters actually obtained many confidential details that outsiders could not end up with through various channels and means, including the death of Akutagawa Kazuo.

Kazuo Akutagawa was originally just an ordinary infantry major, but the pursuit battle after the end of the Shanghai War in 37 made this infantry junior who was called a madman by his partners famous. Akutagawa Kazuo was only a Shao Zuo at that time, and his subordinates could only command one infantry squad, but this Japanese Shao Sa, who commanded an infantry squad, actually dared to take his own infantry squad and chase a national infantry regiment for three consecutive days, and finally almost completely annihilated this national infantry regiment.

Kazuo Akutagawa is very famous for this battle, but it is undoubtedly big news that such a guy who is called a madman was killed in battle in the Hongkou district, which is the most tightly controlled by the Japanese army. The Japanese army could control the Chinese-language newspapers, but they could not really control the newspapers with European backgrounds, so the news of Akutagawa Kazuo's death was quickly published in the newspapers, and there was an uproar in the Shanghai Concession. Xu Huanshan also saw this report in the newspaper, unlike those who only pay attention to the news itself, Xu Huanshan's first thought after seeing this news was to believe that this matter was related to Lu Yuan, who had been missing for many days.

Lu Yuan has a criminal record, and the last riot in Hongkou District was caused by Lu Yuan. After the Japanese woman who delivered the letter left Shanghai, Xu Huanshan has been looking for Lu Yuan, but Lu Yuan has disappeared like a human being. Originally, Xu Huanshan thought that Lu Yuan might have left Shanghai, but now, Xu Huanshan can be 100% sure that the person who is fighting with the Japanese army in the Japanese headquarters at this moment is Lu Yuan. However, the newspaper said that it was a small unit that occupied the headquarters of the Japanese army, and Xu Huanshan was very curious about when Lu Yuan formed such a small force.

If Xu Huanshan knew that Wang San and others beside Lu Yuan were still low-level figures in Shanghai half a month ago, and so far, the main force fighting with the Japanese army was only Lu Yuan himself, I don't know how Xu Huanshan would feel. Lu Yuan recruited Wang San and the others, in fact, just to find some helpers for himself, and he couldn't rely on them to fight, at least when he was resting, he could have a few observation posts around him.

The matter of the headquarters building was finally not covered, and Iichi Nagano and his officers were scolded bloody, and the top brass of the dispatch army immediately ordered that a real field force be sent back to Shanghai to defend Shanghai. This Japanese field unit that was transferred back to Shanghai was ostensibly transferred back to Shanghai for rest and recuperation, but in fact, they came to the headquarters building. For three whole days, the Japanese army only surrounded the headquarters building, but did not see the slightest movement, Lu Yuan was naturally happy to have time to rest, but Wang San and the others couldn't sit still.

"Can't wait? Then go and negotiate with the Japanese soldiers outside the building, and ask them to send someone to get the corpses. Lu Yuan gave advice, but Wang San and the others were relatively speechless, saying that Lu Yuan's brain was blown up, how could the Japanese contact him? In the end, Dong Peng understood what Lu Yuan meant, and volunteered to run to the window and shout at the Japanese soldiers outside the building. To the surprise of Wang San and others, the Japanese army reacted quickly and sent a Japanese soldier with a white flag to contact Dong Peng.

"Tell them that they can take all the corpses here. However, there was a small requirement, not only must the people who come to carry the corpses not carry any weapons, but they can only be civilians, and they are not allowed to drive over, and they can use mule and horse carts. Dong Peng originally thought that Lu Yuan would take the opportunity to ask the Japanese army for weapons, ammunition or water, but he didn't expect that Lu Yuan didn't take the opportunity to knock on the Japanese army's bamboo pole at all, but just put forward such a few requirements that were not requirements.

The Japanese army also didn't understand Lu Yuan's intentions, but it was very important for them to be able to get back the bodies of their comrades who died in battle. Two hours later, more than 40 men and women, dressed as civilians and carrying no weapons, appeared outside the headquarters building, using the means of transport that was a mule and horse cart that the Japanese army had urgently requisitioned from the vicinity of Shanghai. Lu Yuan just scanned the outside of the building with a full-view map, and found that a large number of Japanese troops appeared around the building, and it seemed that the other party was guarding against himself and others from taking the opportunity to leave.

The Japanese army was indeed preparing for the fact that the people in the building would take the opportunity to leave, otherwise the Japanese army would not be able to figure out why the enemy in the building would suddenly make such a decision that was clearly biased in favor of the Japanese army. Of course, the Japanese army could not guess Lu Yuan's true intentions, but when they saw two mules and a donkey being forcibly pulled into the building, the Japanese army finally had an epiphany.
