Hand-to-hand combat is always bloody.
Zhang Tianhai already has a foundation in martial arts fighting, and the body he has traveled through time is really strong. Killing people with a knife in his hand can be described as a very violent beauty.
"Battal Commander, why are you up here?" A familiar voice sounded in his ear. Zhang Tianhai turned around and saw that it was Li Chunfei, the first company commander.
"Chunfei, take the brothers and evacuate quickly. This is the order given by the host himself. By the way, where are the three dogs?" Zhang Tianhai gasped.
"The second company of Sangou is over there." Li Chun flew to the south and pointed casually. He was also breathing heavily. It was obvious that close combat consumed a lot of energy.
Zhang Tianhai gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, Chunfei. You take the company and retreat first, and I'll go find Sangou and the others."
"No!" Li Chunfei flatly refused, "If the battalion commander doesn't withdraw, we won't withdraw!"
"Are you going to disobey me?!" Zhang Tianhai shouted in a deep voice, raising his hand and piercing the belly of another Japanese with his bayonet.
"Yes. Even if you kill me now, battalion commander, I won't withdraw!" Li Chunfei showed almost no hesitation.
"Okay, very good. Brothers, fight to the second company! Haha." Zhang Tianhai laughed loudly.
…
In the distance, at a relatively intact house, Peng Jiguang looked over and gently lowered the telescope in his hand.
"The first battalion of the 216th Regiment is almost dead. The second battalion of the 212th Regiment is almost dead...the position is about to be lost." Peng Jigang sighed softly, his eyes full of regret.
"Master, what should we do now?" the chief of staff next to him asked worriedly.
Peng Jiguang gritted his teeth and said, "Order the artillery battalion... to fire!"
In fact, Peng Jiguang was very conflicted when he issued this order, because there were dozens of comrades on the battlefield who were fighting desperately against the Japanese. They did not die under the enemy's bayonets, but died from their own artillery fire. under!
However, Peng Jiguang knew clearly that if he did not fire artillery at this time, it would be too late to launch artillery attacks when all his comrades were killed and the enemy gained a firm foothold.
"Yes, Brigade!" the chief of staff responded.
The artillery battalion is directly under the division headquarters. Although Song Xilian believes that there will be no deserters in his troops, it does not mean that all the troops in the rear will not die!
As a result, Song Xilian assigned the division's only treasure, the artillery battalion, to the 108th Brigade to prevent the enemy from pursuing them.
At Peng Jiguang's order, the artillery battalion's artillery finally roared.
"Hey~"
"Hey~"
"Hey~"
A hairpin-squeaking artillery shell hit the Fudan University position hard. Many soldiers were killed and injured by the sudden artillery fire. Of course, the main victims were the Japanese troops, not the Guojun!
The moment the shells landed, Zhang Tianhai instinctively sensed the danger and shouted loudly: "Lie down!!!"
The moment Zhang Tianhai's cry rang out, all the soldiers who heard the battalion commander's cry fell down immediately, except for some Chinese soldiers who did not pay attention to the sound and many Japanese soldiers.
"Boom!!!"
"Ah~"
"Boom!!!"
"Boom!!!"
The explosion was accompanied by many screams, which were the screams of pain after the shock wave of the explosion hit the human body with broken shrapnel.
"Battal Commander, the shells seem to be coming from our side." Li Chunfei shouted, fearing that his voice would be covered by the sound of the explosion.
Hearing this, Zhang Tianhai listened carefully and found out that it was really the artillery fire of the national army. He thought for a while and said: "First company commander, follow me and rush to the second company. The artillery shelling, for us, there is still a line." vitality!"
Zhang Tianhai shouted loudly to his side, and after speaking, he rushed towards the second company with a single step, followed closely by battalion staff officer He Qiguang, guard Liu Houming, first company commander Li Chunfei and the few remaining soldiers of the first company.
Artillery shells hit the position with a screaming sound. What Ogisu Ripei never expected was that this group of Chinese soldiers would be so cruel that they even fired on their own people.
"Baga!" Ogisu Tatebing fiercely slapped a Japanese soldier next to him. This slap was not because the soldier did anything wrong, but because the commander of the Ogisu division was in a bad mood, that's all.
Seeing through the telescope that the elite imperial warriors of the 58th Regiment fell one by one, Ogisu Tatehei's mood really couldn't get better.
This time Peng Jiguang ordered the division's artillery battalion to fire, and he fired without sparing any effort. If he couldn't stop this group of wolf-like Japanese soldiers here and was overtaken, he wouldn't have retreated - it was very likely that something would happen. Become a rout!
Once it develops into a rout, the Thirty-sixth Division will be in danger!
Yes, this shelling did cause great danger to the officers and soldiers of the Chinese and Japanese armies who were still fighting, but it also brought a rare glimmer of hope to Zhang Tianhai and others who were at an absolute disadvantage.
Yes, it is vitality.
Without this shelling, they would have fought to death sooner or later; it was precisely because of this shelling that the life-saving and well-trained Japanese troops quickly fell into position to defend themselves against the shelling.
Finally, the officers and soldiers of the first and second companies were reunited. It was a pity that all the officers and soldiers of the third company were sacrificed, leaving only a pitiful dozen or so people.
Huangtian paid off, and under the leadership of Zhang Tianhai, the few dozen people left in the first battalion finally took advantage of the artillery attack to escape from the siege, although everyone was more or less injured.
"Battal Commander... Battalion Commander, I can't do it anymore. I need to take a rest." He Qiguang, the battalion staff officer, gasped and was about to collapse on the ground.
Zhang Tianhai also expressed his understanding of this. He glanced at Liu Houming and said, "Liu Houming, help him. Keep running. We only have so few people left in the battalion, and we can't afford to lose another brother."
"Yes." After receiving the order, Liu Houming supported He Qiguang.
"Let's go!" After saying that, Zhang Tianhai continued to pant and run forward. He knew clearly that this shelling would not last long, and the national army's artillery did not have much ammunition to begin with!
Sure enough, after five minutes, the bombardment stopped.
Five minutes, whether long or short, was enough for Zhang Tianhai and the others to run a certain distance.
After the shelling stopped, the fierce Japanese army launched a fierce offensive again, chasing the Thirty-sixth Division all the way.
In the distance, the artillery of the 36th Division has begun to retreat, and the remaining two battalions of the 215th Regiment are stationed here.
"Business seat..." Fang Ren, the chief of staff of the 216th Regiment standing next to Peng Jigang, saw the tears in the corners of the former's eyes, so he asked subconsciously.
Peng Jiguang waved his hand and said, "I'm fine. It's just a pity for Zhang Tianhai and the others. They are all good people."
