War of Resistance

Chapter 7 Shen Wei
Erlian finally withdrew.

After the second company won the Zhaofeng Road, it finally became the bridgehead for the third company to attack Tangshan Road.

The sun in autumn always comes very early, like the tail of summer. Before six o'clock, the sky is already full.

The whole city woke up and started its busy day.

Shanghai in the war is like a broken cake. Some people give up, but some people also stick to it.

The rain stopped for a while, and the warm sunlight shone on the people, as if telling them with actions: the Chinese people will not lose this war.

Those who chose to stick to it got up early in the morning to work. They rushed to the front of the battlefield with food and other items, and contributed their own strength to the soldiers of the national army who were fighting in the front.

Those who choose to stay behind include citizens, students, workers and so on.

This day is August 1937, 8, time, 21:[-].

In the open space around the three streets near the front of the battlefield, there is a busy scene here, people are coming and going, some are burning fire, boiling water, some are kneading noodles, and some are cooking steamed buns.

The smoke curled up.

Fifteen days ago, this street was a bustling street, but now it has become a cooking camp that provides breakfast for the soldiers ahead.

When Zhang Tianhai showed up on this street with the remaining 110 eight people from Erlian, someone immediately organized people to bring baskets of steamed white flour buns to them.

"Eat it! You are tired from fighting! Eat two..."

"Eat it while it's hot, it's still hot. You've worked hard in the battle ahead..."

……

The people responsible for delivering steamed buns and steamed buns to the officers and soldiers of the Second Company were basically women, and most of the young and middle-aged people had already been assigned to carry stretchers.

Listening to this warm greeting and concern in front of them, many surviving officers and soldiers couldn't help shedding bitter tears. Some of them were so young that they couldn't help crying with a "wow".

The battle was fierce overnight, and the casualties were too heavy.

From the 215 people who set off from Xi'an to 118 now, including company commander Li Haocheng, 97 officers and soldiers cannot stand here and enjoy this precious breakfast with them.

Among the officers and soldiers standing here, most of them have some color on their bodies, but they still have fighting power, and they can continue to fight with the devils, so they still can't withdraw from the battle.

As the current top commander of the Second Company, Zhang Tianhai is not much better than the officers and soldiers under him - his face has been blackened by gunpowder smoke, and his goose green officer uniform is also stained with blood. The white gloves looked so clean.

Withdrew from the battlefield, Zhang Tianhai's nerves finally relaxed a little, but exhaustion and hunger flooded his head at the same time.

From the start of the battle, from the moment the company commander Li Haocheng sacrificed, Zhang Tianhai has been leading the soldiers of the second company to charge at the front of the queue, and the explosion has not happened to him once or twice.

Looking at the clean and energetic faces in front of him, Zhang Tianhai suddenly had a feeling like he was in a different world: it would be great if Company Commander Li, Xu Mu and other sacrificed soldiers could stand here and enjoy breakfast with them. OK.

Thinking about it, Zhang Tianhai saw the smiling faces of Li Haocheng and Xu Mu and other soldiers who had sacrificed, as if to say, we are worth dying for.

Thinking about it, Zhang Tianhai seemed to be a little crazy, and he didn't even see the girl standing in front of him holding a basket.

"Company commander, you all walk well, and I will finish the rest of the way for you." Zhang Tianhai muttered to himself, and before he knew it, his eyes filled with tears, and finally crossed his smoke-smoked eyes. Black handsome face.

"Big brother, stop crying, take it, wipe it!" A voice sounded in front of Zhang Tianhai, pulling him out of his world.

What caught Zhang Tianhai's eyes was a pink handkerchief embroidered with plum blossoms, with a line of delicate small characters embroidered on the corner, as if telling Zhang Tianhai that its owner was a delicate girl.

Zhang Tianhai took the handkerchief handed over by the girl with trembling hands. He took a deep breath and said softly, "Thank you."

He wiped away the tears on his face with the veil, Zhang Tianhai also slowly cleaned up his mood, and only smelled a good smell coming from the veil, it was a very fresh and very refreshing scent. The warm taste made him stunned for a moment.

"The veil is very fragrant and the words are very good. It's a pity that my face is too dirty, and your veil is dirty." Zhang Tianhai tried his best to squeeze a smile that he thought was beautiful from his face. Indeed, just now Coming off the line of life and death, he has just experienced so many sacrifices of his comrades and brothers, and he is really in a bad mood.

Having said that, Zhang Tianhai handed the handkerchief back to its owner.

It was at this time that Zhang Tianhai noticed the little girl in front of him. She was wearing a standard school uniform from the Republic of China, with two big braids. She was about 1.6 meters to 1.7 meters tall and fair-skinned. , with willow eyebrows and black eyes, the key is that she still has a beautiful oval face, and the delicate and small nose grows on top of the beautiful thin lips like a finishing touch.

The whole person is just one word: beautiful, and it is the kind of beauty without a hint of coquettishness, like a white and pure white peony flower, with a hint of calm nobility and gorgeousness in the middle.

Seeing Zhang Tianhai was a little sluggish. He had seen beautiful women, but he had never seen a beautiful woman with such a pure temperament, as if she had not added any impurities.

His heart, which had been silent for a long time, began to beat violently.

The girl took the already stained veil, and she behaved generously and decently, not like a child from a poor family - no wonder, most of the people who can afford to read in this era are from wealthy families. , let alone women.

"Let's have breakfast, you've all been fighting all night." The girl removed the cloth from the basket in her hand, which were steaming steamed buns.

Zhang Tianhai took off his command gloves, revealing his large, rather delicate hands, took a steamed bun, and then sat down somewhere, not forgetting to say, "Thank you."

Taking a bite of the hot steamed bun, and then swallowing it, Zhang Tianhai said to the little girl who was waiting beside him, "Eat one too! You must be starving early in the morning, right? "

The girl shook her head and said, "This is for the heroes who fought the devils in front of you. After you finish eating, we will eat it."

"Let's eat, people are iron, rice is steel, if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry." After speaking, Zhang Tianhai took another bite of the steamed bun, and looked at the girl with doting eyes.Yes, this girl is the type he likes, so he has to take a second look, and if he doesn't take another look, he will die on the battlefield for a while, and he will never see it again.

The girl shook her head firmly, then changed the subject and said, "By the way, brother, are you an officer?"

Zhang Tianhai nodded and said, "Well, I'm an officer, and I'm the company commander of the 36st Battalion [-]nd Company of the [-]th Regiment of the [-]th Division. By the way, little girl, I want to know your name, can you tell me? "

Zhang Tianhai's eyes are very sincere, without a trace of obscene.

The little girl nodded and said, "Well, my name is Shen Wei, and I study at National Chiao Tung University."

"Shen Wei. The name is really nice, like a rose against the wind, always full of vitality." Zhang Tianhai praised softly, but his eyes unconsciously glanced in the direction of the sound of gunfire.

I'm afraid there's not much free time like this, right?Zhang Tianhai thought.
