War of Resistance

Chapter 121
Yes, in Peng Jiguang's view, fighting against the overwhelmingly superior Japanese army, coupled with the bombardment from our own artillery, was a near-death situation.

The 15nd Battalion of the [-]th Regiment lost contact [-] minutes ago. Needless to say, everyone knew that the whole battalion was sacrificed. But is Zhang Tianhai really so fateful?not necessarily.

"Traveler, it is destiny for a soldier to die on the battlefield, and a corpse shrouded in horse leather. Sooner or later, you and I may all die here. Yulin and the others are just leaving us one step ahead..." Although Fang Ren spoke righteously, as if He didn't care much, but he could tell from the desolation in his eyes that he wasn't sad.

"Zhengguo. Your regiment leader Hu has already left with a large army, why didn't you follow?" Peng Jiguang turned around and asked Fang Ren.

"Traveler, our group said that he personally ordered Yulin to stay behind. He must be the first to know whether he is alive or dead." The corners of Fang Ren's eyes were a little wet. It was too much, but no matter what, Zhang Yulin was a reputable guy, so he didn't want Zhang Tianhai to die in this battle.

He should have a better future, he is only 24 years old...

"Understood." Peng Jiguang nodded lightly, "This Yulin is indeed a bloody man who dares to fight. No wonder your leader values ​​him so much."

Fang Ren nodded noncommittally: "It's strange to say that Zhang Tianhai was ill before leaving Xi'an, and his whole person seemed to have changed. To be honest, I can hardly believe it."

"Oh? A different person?" Peng Jiguang asked, his eyes full of doubts: "Then tell me, what kind of person he was before."

After thinking about it, Fang Ren said: "How should I put it, he looked very honest and dull before. To put it bluntly, he was a little ignorant, that is to say, Sun Hong and his classmates at the same time in Whampoa got along quite well. His age Small, compared to his classmates at the same time, he is quite satisfactory. Even his old company commander Li Haocheng evaluated him as a nerd and didn't know how to adapt."

Hearing this, Peng Jiguang shook his head lightly, and said, "Not necessarily. Look at the battles this Yulin has fought these days, does it look like a nerd? The style of fighting is eclectic, and the combination of strangeness and righteousness is especially important. I appreciate this toughness the most. It's a pity that such a young man..."

……

Zhang Tianhai and the remaining officers and soldiers of the first battalion behind him were running desperately. They survived on this battlefield after a narrow escape, and they couldn't lose their lives because of their slack.

After all, living is the most important thing.

Running all the way desperately made Zhang Tianhai, who was already very physically strong, feel a little overwhelmed, let alone other people.

What surprised Zhang Tianhai was that Liu Houming was carrying He Qiguang on his shoulders and ran like flying, as if nothing was there.

If there is an emoji package at this time, the one that best reflects Zhang Tianhai's state at this time is the black question mark.

Zhang Tianhai knew that Liu Houming was the descendant of the Hong family boxing, but he only knew that he was strong in melee combat. He did not expect that this guy's physical strength was so strong. This was beyond Zhang Tianhai's expectation.

Days feel like years, this is the state of mind of Zhang Tianhai and others at the moment, but they still have to run, run desperately.

I don't know how long I ran, and finally heard a question full of warning: "The people in front stop, which part are you from?!"

Hearing this, Zhang Tianhai and the others immediately stopped their desperate running and collapsed to the ground, panting desperately: "Brother...brother, we...we are from the 36th division..."

Due to the distance, Zhang Tianhai gasped and spoke intermittently, making it difficult for people to hear clearly, so the defenders sent a person to inquire about the situation.

I saw the defenders wearing light blue military uniforms. Obviously, they were either newly recruited soldiers from the rear, or they were motley troops.The soldier trotted all the way to Zhang Tianhai, saw that the latter had the rank of major, then bowed his body and said, "Sir, which department do you belong to?"

It took Zhang Tianhai a while to recover, and said: "We are from the 36th Brigade of the [-]th Division. I am Zhang Tianhai, the first battalion commander of the [-]th Regiment."

"Okay, I'll report to our commander. This is a battlefield. Please forgive me for not being able to salute you." The soldier spoke sincerely and had a very good attitude. The 36th Division has been fighting since the beginning of the battle. It also bears the halo of the ace army of the old Jiang's lineage-the National Guard!

"Okay, let's go back quickly! The devil is coming soon, and we were chased and beaten by the little devil all the way." Zhang Tianhai reminded.

The soldier nodded, and ran back to the position. After a while, he made a "come" gesture.

Zhang Tianhai ran to the national army's position with this group of exhausted and embarrassed officers and soldiers.

After arriving at the position, I saw a major in light blue military uniform salute Zhang Tianhai: "Xu Mo, Second Battalion Commander of the 60th Brigade, 57th Regiment, No. you."

(Note: At this time, the 57th Division has not yet been assigned to the 74th Army, but still belongs to the 69th Army. The 69th Army, led by Ruan Zhaochang, was formerly one of Sun Chuanfang's five-provincial coalition forces.)
Zhang Tianhai also returned a military salute, and said solemnly: "Zhang Tianhai, the first battalion commander of the No. 70 Eighth Army, 36th Division, [-]th Brigade, [-]th Regiment, [-]st Battalion of the National Revolutionary Army."

"Okay, let's go to the back and talk about the situation ahead!" Xu Mo is not the kind of person who is not pragmatic. Since Zhang Tianhai and others came back from the front line, either the 36th Division was defeated, or The 36th Division has already withdrawn, no matter what the situation is, it will be extremely unfavorable to the 57th Division defending the field, and it can even be said to be the first to bear the brunt, so he has an obligation to understand the situation at this time!

"En." Zhang Tianhai nodded.

At this time, the houses in the Dachang position were still in good condition. Although the two sides fought here again on the 25th and 26th, in terms of heavy firepower, it was only hit by Japanese air raids, and had not yet been bombarded by Japanese naval guns and heavy artillery.

The headquarters of the Second Battalion of the [-]th Regiment was set up in a private house. After Xu Mo brought Zhang Tianhai and others to the headquarters, he ordered the guards to bring cold water before he asked about the situation on the front line.

"Gollum~ Gollum~"

Zhang Tianhai and the others gulped down the precious cold water. After all, it was very hot and hard to run all the way down from the front line, even though it was late autumn.

"Well, our 36th Division has already retreated, and the casualties are too great. This time, the Japanese army is very powerful. In less than two hours, we killed two of our battalions. If the retreat order did not come in time, I am afraid we would have died. At this moment, thinking about what happened just now, Zhang Tianhai still has lingering fears.

……

PS: Well, it’s broken again, I’m guilty.
