As Zhang Tianhai expected, the Japanese tanks did not follow infantry behind them.
Why did Zhang Tianhai guess that there were no infantry behind the Japanese tanks? Simply because there were no gunshots.
If there were Japanese soldiers behind the tank, the soldiers of his second company would have been unable to hold back their fire for a long time. How could there be any silence at this moment?
What Zhang Tianhai just couldn't figure out was that the Japanese could clearly follow the infantry behind the tanks and launch a beautiful counterattack. At least they could drive the Chinese soldiers out of Zhaofeng Road while their foothold was not stable.
Can Zhang Tianhai think that the Japanese commander who was also born in a military academy failed to think of this problem? The only reason that can be explained is that the Japanese army is short of troops at this time and they are shrinking their defense line!
The appearance of these three tanks is more like delaying the time for the national army to take Zhaofeng Road.
What was the purpose of the Japanese army doing this? A trace of doubt flashed in Zhang Tianhai's head.
However, he no longer had time to think about it - because the charge horn had already sounded.
"Da da da da da~ da da da da~"
An exciting and melodious charge bugle sounded again. Zhang Tianhai looked back and saw a group of soldiers in national army uniforms not far behind him rushing over under the leadership of the leading officer.
Zhang Tianhai knew the leading officer, who was Third Company Commander Sun Hong.
"Brothers, our reinforcements are here! Kill these bastards! Avenge the sacrificed brothers." Zhang Tianhai shouted loudly. As long as Tangshan Road is broken through, the only distance from Huishan Pier is Dongxihuade Road. A final barrier.
Just as Zhang Tianhai was about to lead the charge, Sun Hong arrived. The latter stepped forward and patted Zhang Tianhai on the shoulder and said: "Yulin, you can take the brothers from the second company down for breakfast first. I will leave the rest to you." Give us three in a row.”
"Is this an order from the battalion commander?" Zhang Tianhai asked in confusion. Indeed, he did not understand. He could clearly unite and take down Tangshan Road in one go, but why should the Second Company withdraw at this time? What is this for? Afraid of being robbed of your credit?
Sun Hong shook his head and said: "No, this is what the regiment means. Your second company and first company have been fighting all night, and it's time for our third company. We can't do it. You two companies are charging ahead and bleeding. Sweat, and we have eaten and drank three times in a row and are watching the fun, right?"
"I understand. There are still Japs upstairs. After they were cleared of the Japs upstairs, our Second Company will withdraw first." Zhang Tianhai sighed softly. At this time, he already understood that what he just thought was based on The heart of a villain can judge the heart of a gentleman.
"This battle will have to be fought from now on, and there will be sacrifices in the battle. We can't sacrifice our brothers, and we can't be dead ghosts. The same goes for you and me. Okay, brother Yulin, come here and leave it to the three of us. Come on!" After saying that, Sun Hong left and led them to the third company.
Sun Hong is not tall, only about 1.68 meters tall. He is a typical southern man. Compared with Zhang Tianhai, who is tall and strong, Sun Hong is more like a gentle scholar.
Fate of the nation, everyone is responsible.
How many students from Whampoa Military Academy were not scholars before? It's just that when the country is in crisis, many people choose to join the army.
"Brothers from the Second Company, listen, after we clear out the Japs upstairs, we'll go down and have breakfast!" After giving this order, Zhang Tianhai breathed a sigh of relief - finally, he survived. .
It has been ten days since we arrived in this era. Before Zhang Tianhai could adapt to this era, he had already waited for the train heading south to Shanghai to fight against Japan.
It had been ten days. It can be said that Zhang Tianhai lived a very depressed life. He spent three days on the train. After arriving in Shanghai, he went straight into the battle without taking any rest.
Since it is a war, there will inevitably be casualties. Although Zhang Tianhai is not afraid of death and dares to die, but it is better to live than to die, right? No one is born to want to die.
He didn't die this time, but no one knows whether he will die next time.
There weren't many Japs upstairs, only about a dozen, so it wasn't difficult to clean them up, and the battle was over in a while.
The battle on Zhaofeng Road was over, but Zhang Tianhai's mission was not over yet, and he still had to arrange for people to carry the wounded.
What moved Zhang Tianhai was that before he could arrange manpower, a group of people spontaneously came over with stretchers.
I saw that this group of people included both men and women, but most of them were young and middle-aged men. They gently carried the injured onto stretchers, and then carefully carried the wounded away from the battlefield.
You know, this is a battlefield. The battle is going on just a few dozen meters in front. A stray bullet may kill these unarmed people!
One by one, the injured brothers were transferred to the rear on civilian stretchers and sent to military doctors for treatment.
Gunfire rang out just a few dozen meters away, but the people seemed to ignore it and continued to carry the injured soldiers away from the battlefield.
Some of them are residents, some are students, some are workers, and some are farmers living outside the city.
The scene in front of him happened right in front of Zhang Tianhai. His eyes were already red, and he kept saying: "Thank you, thank you, thank you..."
Zhang Tianhai kept saying "thank you", but finally an older brother couldn't listen anymore.
I saw the plainly dressed elder brother walking up to Zhang Tianhai and saying seriously: "Sir, please don't thank me. This is what we should do. The little devils have invaded our home, and we are all defenseless." Ordinary people, there is nothing you can do. Sir, you have come all the way from Xi'an, bleeding and sweating, to help us Shanghai people drive away the damn little devils. We should be the ones to say thank you."
"Yes." Many people present echoed what the elder brother said. Obviously, what the elder brother said was very reasonable.
Zhang Tianhai took a deep breath and said: "The duty of our soldiers is to protect our homeland and the country. You don't need to thank me. You have been paid as a soldier and you have expected this day. You little devil will never die in destroying our country. Incidents were launched successively in Northeast China, North China, Shanghai and other places, with the goal of destroying China! However, everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. Seeing that everyone is so patriotic and brave, I will not be afraid even if the soldiers I carry behind me die on the battlefield. .Tomorrow of the war of resistance lies with you, so let’s encourage each other.”
After saying that, Zhang Tianhai bowed deeply and said what he meant.
Everyone is not the kind of person with low emotional intelligence, and they have already understood the meaning of this handsome officer's words: I may be sacrificed on this battlefield, and I may not be able to see the sun tomorrow. From now on, The fight against Japan depends on you.

PS: It’s finally updated. It’s not that the eagle is not updated, but it’s because I broke my hand while riding my motorcycle home from get off work two days ago, so it’s very difficult to code. Plus I have a cold and my head is groggy. , so that’s it for this chapter.
I hope everyone can understand, and the Eagle would like to thank everyone!
