The Huishan Pier is busy. In addition to the inherent machine gun positions, there are also combat anti-aircraft guns and mortars being assembled in the hands of these Japanese soldiers wearing black navy uniforms, and they are already aiming in the direction of the gate.
Huge warships were floating in the nearby sea, and the muzzles of their guns were already aimed in the direction of Broadway Road on the shore.
Three minutes ago, they received a distress call from the commander in charge of land defense, Kogu Yijiro. As subordinates of the Third Fleet, they must work together to resist this wave of attacks by the Chinese army.
The muzzle of the warship's gun was dark, like the bloody mouth of a giant beast. Inside the gun barrel, the shells were already loaded - they were waiting, waiting for the moment when the Chinese army launched an attack, and then fired at the intersection of Broadway Road!
And what about Zhang Tianhai at this time? He was leading the officers and soldiers of the Second Company behind him to chase down Panasonic Gengbing and others who were running in front.
It had been more than seven hours, and several lines of defense of the Japanese army had finally been breached. The mission was about to be completed, and he finally had the opportunity to avenge these dead brothers. How could Zhang Tianhai not seize the opportunity?
"Catch up with the little devils in front! Kill them! Avenge Captain Li and all the brothers who died!" Zhang Tianhai waved the Mauser military pistol in his hand and took the lead, rushing to the front of the company, like a man who didn't care about his life. madman.
Zhang Tianhai's physical strength is one of the best in the entire company. Even if his body is tired now and his condition is not as good as it was in his heyday, he is still at the forefront of the entire company because everyone is in the same state, tired and miserable. Unspeakable.
Perhaps for them, only by sacrifice can they rest permanently.
But isn’t the purpose of human life to suffer all the sins in this world?
Broadway Road is neither long nor short, probably about 800 to 1,000 meters, but compared to the battlefield, this stretch of road is already very long.
Perhaps because this road leads to the British Concession, there are almost no Japanese troops setting up positions here. This allowed Zhang Tianhai and others to pursue so smoothly, otherwise they would have been blocked long ago.
The Japanese have not completely offended the confidence of the British. After all, in this era, although Britain is in decline, its reputation as an empire "on which the sun never sets" still rings.
The most important point is that Britain has not yet fallen into the quagmire of war with the Germans at this time!
Therefore, Britain at this time is very powerful in terms of influence and strength.
The Japanese deserters were not far away from Zhang Tianhai and the others, only about a hundred or two hundred meters away. The main reason was that their escape time was too late. If they had run away as soon as Tangshan Road was breached, they might have been able to escape, but In fact, they started running when they felt they couldn't stand it any longer. By then it was obviously too late.
In a hurry, Zhang Tianhai snatched the Mauser rifle from a soldier beside him and fired in the direction of the Japanese's escape.
"Snapped!"
The sound of gunfire rang out, and a Japanese soldier fell down. The other officers and soldiers also followed suit, stopping to fire one or two shots, and then continued to chase. However, their marksmanship was much worse than that of the company commander. It was quite different. The meaning of "Great Mercy and Great Compassionate Marksmanship" lies in this.
However, there will always be some blind cats encountering dead mice. If there are too many ants, they can kill an elephant. After two or three Japanese soldiers in front were knocked down, five or six soldiers chose to abandon it. The weapon surrendered.
Only the leading Captain Panasonic Gengbing and seven or eight Japanese soldiers continued to run towards the British Concession. It seemed that these people wanted to escape into the British Concession and seek shelter from the British army.
Now that he was blinded, how could Zhang Tianhai let these Japanese soldiers escape into the British Concession alive? That's impossible.
But these surrendered Japs had to be dealt with. Zhang Tianhai was in a hurry and said loudly: "First platoon leader, you lead some people to keep an eye on these Japs, and let me chase the others!"
Zhang Tianhai was not the kind of person who could only shout and then take no action. He sped up and ran a few steps, stopped, picked up the already loaded Mauser rifle, and shot the leading officer in the thigh. , he thought clearly that only by shooting the official in the foot would other soldiers slow down and help him.
Killing the Japanese officer was not Zhang Tianhai's goal, his goal was to wipe out this group of deserters!
"Bang!" The bullet burst out of the barrel of the Mauser rifle and hit Panasonic Gengbing's thigh.
The bullet cut through the air and immediately shot through the thigh of Panasonic Gengbing. It also took away a piece of minced meat. A rifle with a caliber like the Mauser rifle is not as powerful as a small-caliber rifle like the 38-gai. .
The intentions are different, one pursues lethality, and the other pursues accuracy. Since accuracy is pursued, the lethality will inevitably be reduced, of course, except for sniper rifles.
With a "pop" sound, the running Panasonic Gengbing lost his center of gravity and fell hard to the ground.
"Ouch~"
The severe pain in his leg made Panasonic Gengbing cry uncontrollably and he lost half a kilogram of meat. It was not an easy thing. To be precise, it was painful.
The Japanese soldiers nearby stopped when they saw their commander fall, and then looked at each other. Some chose to continue running away, while others chose to stop and support the commander and run together.
Of course, those who stayed were only a small number of people, only two or three, and the rest all continued to escape to the British Concession.
When Zhang Tianhai was still trying to knock down the fleeing Japanese soldiers, the remaining British troops in the British Concession came out. They were alerted by the gunfire coming closer and closer.
The Chinese army has been fighting the Japanese army in Shanghai for a whole week. Even if you are blind in the British concession, you can know what is going on. Can you not be vigilant?
No, the British troops quickly dispatched are the best proof.
In the end, the fastest Japanese soldiers surrendered to the British army and were taken over by the British army.
"This Chinese officer, you have crossed the line." A tall officer with a hooked nose came out of the British army and said in extremely blunt Mandarin.
Zhang Tianhai suppressed the anger in his heart and said coldly: "I/think/your/Excy/has/made/a/mistake. We/don't/cross/the/border, and/it's/ ory/of/the/British/. (I think you are mistaken, we have not crossed the border, and this is not the territory of the British Concession)"
Zhang Tianhai's English was fluent, which actually shocked the British officer. He didn't expect that some of China's grassroots officers could speak English?
