War of Resistance

Chapter 114 The Onslaught of the Takeshita Regiment
The onslaught of the Takeshita Regiment lasted for a whole afternoon, the entire battlefield was covered with flying dust, and the setting sun at sunset rendered the bloody land.

Just when the officers and soldiers of the company were beaten down to about ten people, the Takeshita soldiers ordered to retreat.

The position was finally held.

At this time, there were not many people left around Li Chunfei, the first company commander, and his red eyes were full of dryness, and he could no longer shed a tear.

This is the truest portrayal of this place.

Looking at the messy corpses in front of him, the corners of Li Chunfei's mouth twitched slightly. This is the army that was replenished only this morning. In one afternoon, no, two hours to be precise, it was almost completely exhausted. The rest of the people were all wounded, either slightly or seriously.

"Company commander, the battalion commander is here." A sharp-eyed soldier beside Li Chunfei saw Wei He, the battalion commander's guard, and called out to him.

At this time, Zhang Tianhai had recovered a lot and could walk on the ground. After all, he was a young man. Coupled with years of exercise, it was normal for him to recover quickly.

"Battalion Commander, I am honored to hold my position..." Li Chunfei trotted all the way to Zhang Tianhai and reported, not forgetting to offer a military salute.

Zhang Tianhai straightened his waist and returned a military salute: "Chunfei, thank you for your hard work. You are all heroes, heroes of the country, and you are worthy of your mission. Well, now I am here to convey the order from the superior. The battalion is about to be withdrawn, and the second battalion will take over our position."

"Battalion Commander, isn't our battalion defending this position well? Why do you want to withdraw us?" Li Chunfei was a little puzzled. He was not the kind of person who didn't know how to change, but he I feel that the first battalion can completely hold this position.

Zhang Tianhai shook his head lightly, and sighed: "Our first battalion has suffered too many casualties in the past two days, so it's time to withdraw and take a rest. Execute the order!"

"Yes!" Li Chunfei responded, and then greeted those comrades who were still able to move and left.

"Go and see those who are still seriously injured, remember to carry them to the division hospital, the brothers of our first battalion should not die in vain waiting!" Zhang Tianhai said with a straight face.

"Yes!" Several soldiers around Zhang Tianhai responded.

……

After all, the first battalion was withdrawn to take a rest. The days of fighting had already crippled the first battalion time and time again, and almost all the soldiers underneath had changed twice.

The unit taking over from the first battalion was Wu Tao's second battalion. Before leaving, Zhang Tianhai patted Battalion Commander Wu on the shoulder and said, "Brother, these little devils are very powerful in fighting, so we can't underestimate the enemy."

Wu Tao was not too polite, and just said: "Old Zhang, don't worry about replenishing the troops. There is absolutely no problem in handing over this place to our second battalion."

……

The brutal war lasted for two full months. As the ace unit of the Central Army, the 36th, 87th, and 88th Divisions from the National Guard also fought for two full months.

As a part of the 36th Division, the [-]th Regiment naturally fought with the main force.

It was the afternoon of October 26th, at the headquarters of the [-]st Battalion of the [-]th Regiment.

Two months of brutal war had hardened Zhang Tianhai's heart. He might cry in the middle of the night for these brave and sacrificed soldiers, but he knew that tears could not solve any problems.So when he woke up the next day, Zhang Tianhai would harden his heart and continue to command the battle.

There are sacrifices in battle, Zhang Tianhai has never thought of being a deserter, away from this noisy battlefield, but can he leave?He can't go, he's a Chinese soldier, he can't be a deserter, that's a shame!

"Battalion Commander, the newly recruited soldiers have arrived." A staff officer ran in and reported.

"Yeah. I know, I'm going out now." Zhang Tianhai nodded lightly, keeping his expression on his face. What remained unchanged on his face was the growing fortitude!
In two months, Zhang Tianhai has witnessed too much, some joy and some sorrow, of course, most of them are grief - the Japanese army's firepower is too strong, the national army under the bombardment of the enemy's sea, land and air forces, The casualties were heavy.

At this time, Zhang Tianhai no longer had the gentle, fair face of two months ago. His dark handsome face showed more calmness and maturity. Stepped forward to the rear.

The position is still the same position, but the enemy's combat troops have changed, from the [-]th Division of Yamamuro Zongwu to the subordinate units of the [-]th Division of Dizhou Libing.

Walking to the rear, what Zhang Tianhai saw was a troop in gray and blue military uniforms. He was familiar with these soldiers, to be precise, he was familiar with the soldiers who came to supplement them—because these soldiers were from the local security regiment Choose the elites who come up to support!

"Brothers, you came up from the rear. You have worked hard all the way, so let's take a rest first!" Zhang Tianhai is not the kind of officer who doesn't care about his subordinates just because he is an officer. Soldiers coming up from behind.

Because of these soldiers, they knew that they would die if they went to the battlefield, but they still came, and they came with enthusiasm. It is these people who deserve Zhang Tianhai's respect!
"Sir, you don't have to be polite. The brothers are here to fight Japan, not to rest. We are all veterans and know how to fight. Please rest assured, battalion commander. When we set off from our hometown in Hunan, we all held our breaths What?" said a simple-looking young man with shining eyes, he was a lieutenant in military rank, so he should be the leading officer.

Although the lieutenant spoke mandarin with a strong Hunan accent, this did not prevent Zhang Tianhai from being able to understand him. Zhang Tianhai nodded slightly and said, "Very good, you are very energetic. You are the one who Do you want to supplement the person in charge of the unit?"

The lieutenant stood at attention and saluted: "Report to the battalion commander. Lieutenant Hu Jingyu of the Third Hunan Security Regiment is reporting to you. The supplementary team should have 229 people. The actual number of people present is 229. Please give instructions to the battalion commander!"

"According to the regulations of the division headquarters, you should observe from the rear for a while before going to the battlefield to supplement. How long have you been here?" Zhang Tianhai asked. The understanding work that should be done still needs to be meticulous.

"To tell you the truth, battalion commander, we just arrived here yesterday, but please rest assured, battalion commander. Although we are soldiers from the local security regiment, we may not be able to compare with your 36th division, the ace of the central army, in terms of equipment, but our sons from Hunan Cub, there is no coward! We are all veterans and know how to fight. If the battalion commander does not accept us, then we have to ask the higher-ups to assign us to other troops." Hu Jingyu's eyes flashed a light called fortitude.

"Yes, sir, let us go to the battlefield! Our Hunan soldiers will not embarrass you!"

"Yes, sir, we are here to fight the Japanese devils, not to rest."

"We all support Company Commander Hu's words."

Wherever Zhang Tianhai looked, there was a surge of enthusiasm and impassioned enthusiasm.
