After all, Xiao Inu Yijiro failed to complete the task given to him by Lieutenant General Hasegawa Kiyoshi - to guard Huishan Pier.
And it was all lost in just twenty-four hours.
Inu Yijiro stood in the middle of the pier, looking at the desolate scenery around him, with despair in his eyes - "Your Majesty the Emperor, Inu Yijiro has not completed his mission, and all his subordinates have been 'broken into pieces'. Yijiro will deal with it in a samurai manner. The Empire expresses its loyalty."
At this time, all the Japanese soldiers present had died in battle, leaving only the little dog Yijiro holding a samurai sword high and with a white cloth wrapped around his head.
There was a striking red circle in the middle of the white cloth wrapped around the little dog Yijiro's forehead, which looked like a piece of eye-catching dog skin plaster. It was the "sun" that symbolized their Japanese totem.
Seagulls screamed in the sky, as if they were watching a wonderful movie, or singing a high-pitched lament for the fallen soldiers on the ground.
On the ground, a group of national army officers and soldiers wearing steel helmets with blue sky and white sun badges on their heads and holding steel guns have surrounded the puppy Yijiro.
In the surroundings, except for the sound of waves washing against the shore, the neighing of seagulls, and the roar of Japanese warships firing shells in the distance, there was no fourth sound.
There was silence all around, and the oppressive atmosphere suppressed the cold heart of Xiao Inu Yijiro all the time.
"Little devil, if you are afraid of death, just surrender! In order to avoid being embarrassed here, and for those who dare not die, holding up a knife is of no use? What about scaring me?" The speaker was the third battalion commander. Gu Xinheng's words at this time were full of joking, and it was really good from the perspective of the winner.
The puppy Yijiro had lived in China for several years, so he naturally understood the meaning of Gu Xinheng's words. His pale face suddenly turned red with anger. He shouted "Baga Ya Road" and then raised his hand He raised his samurai sword and struck at Gu Xinheng.
But before the puppy Yijiro could rush to Gu Xinheng, Gu Xinheng fired.
"boom!"
A plume of smoke came out of the muzzle of the Mauser pistol and then drifted away in the wind.
A circular bullet hole appeared in the middle of the brow of Xiao Inu Yijiro, and his eyes were still staring at the enemy who killed him.
After a long time, the lifeless body of Xiao Inu Yijiro finally slowly fell backwards, and then fell heavily to the ground.
With that "pop", the officers and soldiers suddenly cheered - the nearly nine-hour battle against the dock was finally over.
"Woohoo~"
As the battle ended, some people were cheering, while others were in tears. Some were excited, and some were saddened by the departure of their comrades.
There are all kinds of things in life that are all the same.
The soldiers were happy, but as the frontline commander, Gu Xinheng was not dazzled by the victory in front of him, because it was just a battle victory.
A fierce battle is still to come.
When the Japanese reinforcements arrive, the battle will probably be a hundred times more brutal.
Gu Xinheng fired a shot into the sky, and the scene suddenly became quiet.
"Brothers, listen! The enemy warships are still ahead. If you don't want to die, clean the battlefield quickly! Our people, whether alive or dead, must be pulled back! As for the little devils, after we count their numbers , just throw them into the sea to feed the fish!" Gu Xinheng said loudly, giving the final order before evacuating the battlefield.
Of course we had to withdraw, otherwise would we have stayed on the dock and become a living target for Japanese warship cannons?
"How was it? How was the battle with the third battalion commander? Yulin, please express your opinion!" Hu Jiaji put down the telescope and asked Zhang Tianhai next to him.
Of course Zhang Tianhai knew that the team leader was not unaware of Gu Xinheng's performance. To put it bluntly, this was a test paper given to him, requiring him to answer the correct answer.
"Battle Commander Gu fought a remarkable battle. But this battle was indeed fought in a hurry. If I had fought this battle, perhaps the casualties would have been smaller." Zhang Tianhai said truthfully.
"Oh? Tell me 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 combat anti-aircraft guns placed in front and said: "With Captain Ye's artillery skills, it is not a problem to hit a Japanese machine gun point. After the combat anti-artillery removes the Japanese machine gun point, we will arrange a few more It might be better for a soldier with better marksmanship to specifically target their machine gunners, remove their fire suppression, and then we attack again. The only drawback is that it takes a little longer."
After hearing Zhang Tianhai's words, Hu Jiaji narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Can the commander's order of 'capture Huishan Pier as soon as possible' be ignored?"
"Tuanzuo, battles are fought by men. Before the Japanese reinforcements arrive, we can calmly remove the last firepower point. The Japanese army does not have many troops at the dock. It will be a matter of time to capture it. Why sacrifice two more How about giving the lives of our officers and soldiers in exchange for their dog lives?" Zhang Tianhai replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner. He knew that this answer might not satisfy the regiment, but this was his truest idea!
Sure enough, after hearing Zhang Tianhai's answer, Hu Jiaji's expression suddenly changed. 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!? This is your bastard's logic. Although the casualties of our 216th Regiment are higher now, it is worth it! Have you ever thought about it, if the Japanese reinforcements arrive when you deliberately delay the battle, do you know what the consequences will be?! That is a soldier The defeat is like a mountain! It will not only be the 216th Regiment that will suffer, but the entire 36th Division! Even the entire national army in Shanghai!"
Hu Jiaji was very excited when he said this, even a little hysterical, and there was a hint of resentment in it - after all, he single-handedly promoted Zhang Tianhai to the position of battalion commander.
Zhang Tianhai also knew that what Hu Jiaji said was not wrong. The battlefield was changing rapidly, so one 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 local reinforcements arrived in Shanghai. It was the morning of August 23, 1937, but now it is August 20, 1937. It's 8:53, which means that the Chinese army still has three days and three nights!
Because he knew the result, Zhang Tianhai was confident, but could he tell the regiment leader that he was a time traveler and then know the exact arrival time of the Japanese reinforcements?
Of course not, not to mention the possibility of being burned to death as a heretic, the most direct possibility is that Tuanzuo suspects him of collaborating with the enemy!
Therefore, Zhang Tianhai can't say it!
