War of Resistance

Chapter 18 Don't Cry

At this moment, there was a rumbling sound of cannons coming from the direction of Huishan Wharf.

Yes, it was the sound of cannons. After staying in the army for so long and going to the battlefield again, Zhang Tianhai would never admit it wrong.

I saw beautiful arcs crossed in the sky, fleeting, like beautiful daytime fireworks.

It was a cannonball with a screeching sound!

The cannonball pierced the sky with a screeching sound, with a little bit of light like stars, as if it was decorating the blue sky with light, and then hit the area near the Huishan Pier heavily.

The sound of the cannon was deafening.

"Oops, it's the regiment headquarters." Zhang Tianhai's expression changed slightly, and when he heard the sound of the cannons, he understood - it must be that the regiment seat had already issued an attack order to take down the Huishan Wharf, and the Japanese naval guns And artillery will launch the bombardment.

Zhang Tianhai didn't say that he was afraid of death or something to change his face, but after the bombardment, the [-]th Regiment did not know how many officers and soldiers would have to sacrifice.

"You bastard!" Zhang Tianhai scolded through gritted teeth. After scolding, he felt displeased. He kicked a Japanese soldier who was closest to him on the buttocks and kicked the Japanese soldier to the ground. .

Seeing that the Japanese army was screaming on the ground in pain, and there was no soldier to stop it, that was what these little devils deserved. Before they came to this land, why didn't they think about the consequences?

After kicking the Japanese soldier, Zhang Tianhai felt the sullenness in his chest subsided a little, and he said, "Help him up! When the bombardment stops, let's escort these little devils back to the regiment headquarters. Dispose of!"

"Yes!" the soldiers responded.

At this time, the prestige of Captain Zhang Tianhai was unusually large in Erlian, and even surpassed the sacrificed Captain Li Haocheng. The soldiers admired Captain Zhang from the bottom of their hearts and were willing to obey his orders, even if this order Even if they were asked to tie up explosive packs to bomb the Japanese army's bunkers and bomb the Japanese army's tanks, they were also willing.

At this time, Zhang Tianhai counted the number of people in the second company, and there were only 73 officers and soldiers left. The first platoon leader Luo Mingyu died in the battle just now, and the second platoon leader also changed. came up.

There were 215 people left when he set off from Xi'an, and now there are 74 people left together with himself. Thinking about it, Zhang Tianhai's nose is a little sore.

It's all a living human life...

Hearing the rumbling sound of cannons in the distance, Zhang Tianhai was actually a little crazy. He couldn't understand why God sent him to this cruel era, why he wanted to watch his brothers sacrifice and die one by one.

But he couldn't understand what he thought.

It didn't take long for the gunfire to stop. Maybe the Japanese army needed to save the shells, so they stopped the shelling. After all, this area in Shanghai is not the mainland of Japan, and it is not just how to replenish ammunition.

Zhang Tianhai returned with his soldiers and the eleven surrendering Japanese troops.

When Zhang Tianhai returned to the section of the road where Dongxi Huade Road, Broadway Road, and Huishan Wharf crossed, the place was full of barren.

Here, there is no one, or to be precise, there is no living person.

Everything seemed empty.

The burning cloth made a crackling sound; the concrete floor that was torn apart by the shells was broken and uneven...

There was a thick smell of gunpowder smoke in the entire battlefield, and the minced meat all over the ground made many officers and soldiers who were no longer recruits couldn't help but vomit up, including the eleven surrendering Japanese troops.

This is no longer the Shili Yangchang of the past, but a hell on earth!

The corpses that fell to the ground, including those of the national army and the Japanese army, were scattered everywhere, with broken arms and stumps everywhere.

Zhang Tianhai looked at the steel helmet on the ground with the emblem of the blue sky and white sun on it, and his tears could not be restrained from falling. Many of the people who fell on the ground were his brothers under Zhang Tianhai...

Except for the corpses of the Japanese army, the rest are all soldiers of their [-]th Regiment.

Just yesterday, they ate together, sang together, and discussed how to defeat the devil together.

But now?There are only cold corpses left, and their Erlian alone sacrificed more than 100 brothers!
Just one night...

"Company commander!" A voice called Zhang Tianhai.

Zhang Tianhai looked back and saw that it was Xu Sangou.

I saw that Xu Sangou at this time also had red eyes, and his entire face was covered in smoked black ash.

"Let's go! Go back! They have already withdrawn from the group seat." Zhang Tianhai held back his tears and said bleakly.

I saw Xu Sangou's nose was already red, his eyes were full of tears, and he said softly with grief: "Company commander... All the people in our class have sacrificed, and I am the only one left..."

After saying these words, Xu Sangou finally couldn't help it, and cried out loudly like a child "wow".

The people present felt the same way. They had just experienced loss and lost the comrades who had been with each other day and night, so they were particularly able to understand Xu Sangou, who was still young.

Seeing Xu Sangou crying like a child, Zhang Tianhai also felt a burst of sadness. He had no ability to stop all this from happening, nor could he change the fate of China.

"Xu Sangou! Don't cry! Hold it!" Zhang Tianhai hardened his heart and ordered Xu Sangou, but he couldn't hold back the tears that fell.

one, two...

Tears fell on the dusty ground and bounced off, splashing small droplets of water.

After a long time, Zhang Tianhai sighed softly: "Let's go! Go back to the army!"
