War of Resistance

Chapter 29 Hate Iron Is Not Steel

After all, the dog Yijiro did not complete the task given to him by Lieutenant General Hasegawa Kiyoshi - guarding the Huishan Wharf.

And it was all gone in just 24 hours.

Inu Yijiro stood in the middle of the pier, looking at the surrounding landscape, his eyes were full of despair - "Your Majesty, Inu Yijiro has not completed his mission, and his subordinates have been 'jade broken', Yijiro will deal with the samurai way. The Empire expresses its allegiance."

At this time, all the Japanese soldiers present were dead, except for Yijiro, a small dog with a samurai sword held high and a white cloth wrapped around his head.

I saw that there was a striking red circle in the middle of the white cloth wrapped around the forehead of the little dog Yijiro, which looked like a striking dog skin plaster wrapped around it, which was the totem that symbolized their Japan - "the sun".

The seagulls screamed "Ow Ow" in the sky, like watching a wonderful movie, or singing a soaring sad song for the soldiers who died on the ground.

On the ground, a group of national officers and soldiers with blue sky and white sun badges and helmets on their heads and holding steel guns have surrounded Yijiro the dog.

In the surroundings, apart from the sound of the waves washing the shore, the roar of the seagulls, and the roar of the Japanese warships firing shells in the distance, there was no fourth sound.

There was silence all around, and the depressing atmosphere kept suppressing the cold heart of Inu Yijiro all the time.

"Little devil, if you're afraid of death, then surrender! To avoid embarrassing people here, those who don't dare to die, what's the point of raising a knife? How about scaring the old men?" The third battalion commander was speaking. Gu Xinheng, the words at this time are full of jokes, and it is really good to stand in the perspective of the winner.

The dog Yijiro has lived in China for many years, and naturally he understands the meaning of Gu Xinheng's words, but his pale face suddenly turned red with anger, he shouted "Bagaya Road", and then raised his voice. As soon as he picked up his samurai sword, he was about to slash at Gu Xinheng.

But before the dog Yijiro rushed to Gu Xinheng, Gu Xinheng shot.

"boom!"

A plume of blue smoke came from the muzzle of the Mauser military pistol, and then drifted away in the wind.

A circular bullet hole appeared in the middle of Inu Yijiro's eyebrows, and his eyes were still staring at the enemy who killed him.

After a long time, the lifeless body of the little dog Yijiro finally slowly fell backwards, and then fell heavily to the ground.

With that "puff", the officers and soldiers cheered all of a sudden - this pier battle that lasted nearly nine hours at the pier finally came to an end.

"woohoo~"

As the battle ended, some people cheered, while others burst into tears, some were excited, and some were saddened by the departure of their comrades-in-arms.

Life is full of different things.

The soldiers were rejoicing, but Gu Xinheng, the front-line commander, was not overwhelmed by the victory in front of him, because it was just a battle victory.

The fight is still to come.

When the Japanese reinforcements arrive, the battle will probably be brutal hundreds of times.

Gu Xinheng fired a shot into the sky, and the scene suddenly quieted down.

"Brothers, listen! Now the enemy's warships are still ahead, if you don't want to die, then quickly clean up the battlefield! Our people, whether alive or dead, must be pulled back! As for the little devils, after we count their numbers , throw them into the sea to feed the fish!" Gu Xinheng said loudly, giving the last order before leaving the battlefield.

Of course we have to withdraw, or will we stay on the dock as a living target of the Japanese naval guns?
"How is it? How did the third battalion commander fight this battle? Yulin, express your opinion!" Hu Jiaji put down the telescope and asked Zhang Tianhai next to him.

Of course Zhang Tianhai knew that it was not that the head of the regiment did not know Gu Xinheng's performance. To put it bluntly, this was a test paper for him, asking him to answer the correct answer.

"Gu battalion commander's battle is remarkable. But this battle is indeed a bit rushed. If this battle is fought by me, the casualties may be less." Zhang Tianhai said truthfully.

"Oh? Tell me about your thoughts?" Hu Jiaji was a little surprised. To be honest, he really didn't understand this newly promoted first battalion commander.

So, take this opportunity to find out.

Zhang Tianhai pointed to the two anti-aircraft guns placed in front, and said, "With Company Commander Ye's artillery skills, it is not a problem to hit a Japanese machine gun point. When the anti-aircraft guns have pulled out the Japanese machine gun points, we will arrange a few more points. A fighter with better marksmanship, specifically targeting their gunners, unplugging their suppression, and then we might be better off attacking. The only downside is that it takes a little longer."

After hearing Zhang Tianhai's words, Hu Jiaji narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Could it be that the commander's 'capture the Huishan Wharf as soon as possible' can be ignored?"

"The regiment seat, the battle is fought by people. Before the Japanese reinforcements arrive, we can unplug the last firepower point calmly. The Japanese army is running out of troops at the pier. It will be a matter of time to win, so why sacrifice two more How about the lives of my officers and soldiers in exchange for the lives of their dogs?" Zhang Tianhai replied without being humble or arrogant, he knew that this answer might not satisfy the regiment, but this was his truest thought!

Sure enough, after hearing Zhang Tianhai's answer, Hu Jiaji's expression changed immediately, and he said in a deep voice: "The battlefield is changing rapidly, how can you be sure that the Japanese reinforcements will not arrive in the next moment!? You are a bastard's logic, Although the casualties of our 36th Regiment are higher now, it is worth it! Have you ever thought about what would happen if the Japanese reinforcements arrived while you were deliberately delaying the battle?! That’s soldiers The defeat is like a mountain! It will not only be the [-]th Regiment, but the entire [-]th Division! Even the national army in the entire Shanghai area!"

When Hu Jiaji said this, he was very excited, even a little hysterical, and there was a bit of hatred for iron not becoming steel - after all, Zhang Tianhai was promoted to the post of battalion commander by himself.

Zhang Tianhai also knew that Hu Jiaji was right. The battlefield was changing rapidly, so he should race against time.

But who is Zhang Tianhai? He has a soul from the 21st century. He knows the exact time when the Japanese reinforcements arrived in Shanghai. It was the morning of August 1937, 8, but now it is eight o'clock on August 23, 1937. 8 points, which means that the Chinese army still has three full days and three nights!

Because he knew the result, Zhang Tianhai had no fear, but could he tell the regiment commander that he was a traveler, and then know the exact arrival time of the Japanese reinforcements?

Of course not, not to mention that he might be burned to death as a heretic, the most direct possibility is that the regiment suspects that he is collaborating with the enemy!

Therefore, Zhang Tianhai can't say!
