War of Resistance

Chapter 151

When the scheduled time came, Zhang Tianhai really ran away with his brothers.

It was already an hour later that the Japanese army attacked again. The well-prepared and enthusiastic Japanese army attacked the south bank position, and the position was already empty, leaving only "corpses" on the ground and bombs one after another. ...

The officers and soldiers of the 10st Battalion of the [-]th Regiment had already retreated [-] minutes ago.

At this time, the remaining officers and soldiers of the 36th Division were retreating towards Kunshan. Along the road, which was bombed by Japanese aerial bombs, there were some routs and small units that had been separated from their superiors. Lost contact.

It was a mess everywhere, with no rules at all, and the Japanese plane was still circling in the sky, like a screaming vulture, waiting for the people on the ground to die.

The defeated soldiers who lost their organizational system probably had only a few endings-either as deserters, or they were incorporated by other troops, or they died under the butcher's knife of the Japanese.Without their organizational system, they can't form combat effectiveness at all!

Desperation, haste, and chaos are all really happening here, while Zhang Tianhai is leading the troops to catch up with the large troops of the 36th Division. The division commander Song Xilian has already taken a step towards Kunshan with the only [-] remaining officers and soldiers. According to the order of Chen Cheng, the former commander-in-chief of the enemy, they had to rush to Kunshan first before giving instructions.

Zhang Tianhai was rushing to Kunshan with the remaining [-] officers and soldiers of the first battalion. If he had to use one word to describe Zhang Tianhai at this moment, he could only be embarrassed, and it was extremely embarrassed.There were tears in his eyes, but his expression was incomparably determined: the dead brothers were dead, and he wanted to lead the group of living brothers to live.

The officers and soldiers behind Zhang Tianhai had tears in their eyes more or less, but they all followed the Battalion Commander steadfastly. Only the Battalion Commander could lead them to live and avenge their dead brothers!
The camera returns to the 45 minutes before the Japanese army captured the south bank of the Suzhou River...

The gunpowder smoke on the battlefield is still there, and it has not been diluted by the rain at all. The officers and soldiers of the [-]st Battalion of the [-]th Regiment are still full of fighting spirit. The passage of time has not diluted their hatred for the Japanese invaders, on the contrary. It was getting heavier and heavier. Although they were about to retreat, before they retreated, the southern line position on the south bank of the Suzhou River was still an iron wall that the Japanese invaders could not break through!
Before the evacuation, Zhang Tianhai asked the officers and soldiers to gather all the seriously wounded together, and then distributed a grenade to each of them.

This is behind a huge reverse slope. Two rows of heavily wounded people are lying on the ground, still panting. In this era of lack of drugs and antibiotics, the only thing waiting for them is death.

Standing in front of this relatively safe slope, Zhang Tianhai's eyes were filled with tears, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Brothers, you must know why I, Zhang Yulin, gathered you here... that's right. , I am distributing the Glory Thunder to you. This grenade was fired for you after the Japanese army occupied the position. I am sorry, brothers, I Zhang Tianhai is incompetent,... I failed to bring you home alive, die If you die, you can only die on the battlefield, and you can't bring you home..."

Speaking of the latter part, Zhang Tianhai's voice choked up for a while, saying that men don't flick their tears easily, but they didn't reach the point of sadness.

A man who has always been very affectionate, but at this moment he is forcing the robes who lived and died with him to die, and he personally issued this order. One can imagine how he feels.

Just when the scene was so quiet that a needle could be heard, a weak but firm voice sounded: "Battle Commander...don't say anything, we are very honored to be your soldiers. Before going to the battlefield...cough cough... ...We knew...we knew we were here to die, and it was worth it to be able to fight Little Japan under the command of the battalion commander... Battalion commander, take the brothers and go, there are still us here, in the future...in the future, Kill more devils for us..."

After finishing speaking, the seriously wounded man grinned and panted heavily, with a smile that was uglier than crying. Everyone present burst into tears, only those seriously wounded had firm eyes, but were speechless. , They just looked at each other, as if to say: Brothers, we also have companions on the road to Huangquan.

Zhang Tianhai held back the tears that fell, and said with a choked voice: "Brothers... salute the veteran!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Tianhai took the lead in saluting a standard military salute, and the rest of the officers and soldiers did the same. The scene was very touching, but unfortunately no one else saw this scene except the officers and soldiers present.

At this moment, the brothers who had already forged deep feelings in the battle once again twisted into a rope, an unstoppable steel rope!

Before the evacuation, Zhang Tianhai asked the uninjured officers and soldiers to distribute the seriously wounded in relatively safe places, and then evacuated.

Four or ten minutes after the main force of the first battalion withdrew, the excited Japanese troops arrived at the south bank, but what awaited them was the glorious Lei Lei who died together...

Explosions sounded one after another on the south bank of the Suzhou River, taking away the lives of almost a hundred Japanese soldiers...

……

When Zhang Tianhai and others arrived at the former enemy headquarters in Kunshan, they found that there was no trace of the main force of the 36th Division, let alone Chen Cheng's former enemy headquarters. Contact small force.

In fact, at this moment, Zhang Tianhai and others don't look like a small army that has lost contact with their superiors?

Fortunately, among the crowd, Zhang Tianhai found Guo Qiliang, an old classmate of Whampoa, and two soldiers beside him, so he hurried over.

It turned out that Guo Qiliang and others were ordered by the group seat and the division seat to wait for Zhang Tianhai and others here. Guo Qiliang told Zhang Tianhai that when the division seat led the troops to Kunshan, Chen Cheng's front enemy headquarters had withdrawn and there was no one behind. It was the iron hooves of the Japanese army, so he took most of them to Suzhou first, and asked Zhang Tianhai to lead the troops to Suzhou to join the division group and them.

"Thank you, brother Qiliang. If you hadn't been waiting here, the brothers in our first battalion would have died in Shanghai." Zhang Tianhai's words were a heartfelt thank you. If Guo Qiliang hadn't been here to point the way, Even if they did not die under the iron hooves of the Japanese army, they would still starve to death.Even if you want to ask the common people to borrow some food, you have to have the common people to get it. The common people in the neighborhood have already run out!

Guo Qiliang nodded and said, "Okay, Brother Yulin, there is nothing to say. Now is a special period, hurry up and take the brothers to Suzhou!"
