"Team seat, the temporary commander of the first battalion, Wei He, is reporting to you!" Walking up to Zhang Tianhai, Wei He had a playful smile on his face. After all, now he has also experienced the pleasure of being a battalion commander. This may be regarded as Experience the four joys of life in advance!
Hmm... For a person like Wei He, who has no culture but is capable of martial arts, being able to become a battalion commander is considered a title on the gold list. Although this battalion commander is temporary...
"Be serious, don't be so playful with me. I have an important task for you now." Zhang Tianhai said with a serious face. At this time, he was really in no mood to joke playfully with Wei He. If he was still in the mood, You can joke and brag.
"Yes!" Wei He was not someone who didn't understand the current situation. Seeing the faces of the group leaders, he knew that this mission would never be that simple.
Zhang Tianhai took a deep breath and said: "Wei He, I want your temporary battalion to station in the Chunhua Town position and hold for at least three hours before retreating. The Japanese reinforcements will arrive soon, and there will be no shortage of troops." , I just made an estimate, we just wiped out at least seven to eight hundred Japanese in this battle. Do you know what this number means? This is most likely a Japanese brigade that will be replenished in the future after the war."
Wei He remained silent, knowing that there must be someone behind the group.
Zhang Tianhai looked at Wei He and continued: "A large brigade was wiped out by our penetration group in less than twenty minutes. It is impossible for the Japanese army not to be alert, and there will definitely be no shortage of their follow-up troops. Now these ordinary people can leave It’s really too slow. Without enough time, we can’t let them go a certain distance.”
"Gentleman, I understand what you mean. To put it bluntly, let me lead the First Battalion to carry out the rear mission." Wei He grinned, but his smile was full of simplicity.
"Listen, Old Wei, this is a mission of a lifetime. If you're lucky, you can break out and retreat. If you're not lucky..." I don't know why, ever since I entered the battlefield in Shanghai, when it comes to these issues of life and death, , Zhang Tianhai's mood always becomes particularly fragile, and his nose is prone to soreness.
Especially Wei He, the person who directly brought Zhang Tianhai back from the brink of death. He has always treated himself as his own brother. This time, the order he gave was to let him die. Maybe this parting , there will be no chance to see him again in this life.
Thinking of this, Zhang Tianhai felt particularly uncomfortable. He still owed Wei He his life, but it was now time and Zhang Yulin had no other choice. Besides Wei He and Liu Houming, who else could he Can people be completely trusted?
It was impossible not to feel uncomfortable letting such a brother who had experienced life and death together go into danger and die - this was the person who trusted him the most in the world, so trusting that he was not even afraid of life and death and could ignore it.
"I know, regiment leader, I understand what you are thinking. I am not afraid to tell you that I have always treated you as my elder brother. Now you are not only the leader of our regiment, but also the leader of the breakthrough team. This group of old brothers is the backbone of the regiment. The penetration regiment and the Zhiyi regiment do not have me, Wei He, but they must not be without the regiment. I, Wei He, will be here to support you in this battle. You can safely lead the people to evacuate. In less than three hours, there is no way the kid can pass through Chunhua Town." As he spoke, Wei He's eyes turned red, but he still forced out a smile that was uglier than crying.
When facing the moment of farewell, sometimes what is given up is not just one's own life, but also the endless attachment to the world, the debt to the parents for their upbringing, and the infinite imagination and expectation for the future.
What is great courage? It is to stand up at the moment of national survival and dare to die even though you know it is death!
"Wei He, I know your thoughts. Remember to come back alive. If you can come back alive, I will promote you to a real battalion commander!" Zhang Tianhai patted Wei He on the shoulder and suppressed his trembling nasal voice. .
"Okay. I'm waiting for Tuan Zuo's words." Wei He grinned, showing his big white teeth, full of warmth and simplicity, "But if I can't come back, can Tuan Zuo agree?" One thing for me?"
"Say it! As long as I can do something, I will do my best." At this time, Zhang Tianhai will certainly agree to Wei He's request, not to mention that he still owes him a debt. Isn’t it fate?
"If I can't come back, remember to take care of my parents for me. I owe no one in my life, but I owe my parents the most. My eldest brother died at the hands of the Japanese when he was in the Northeast a few years ago. In this way, I killed so many Japanese on the front line, so I was worthy of my elder brother, and I avenged this bloody revenge for him. It’s just that my parents sent me to learn martial arts since I was a child, in order to be successful one day. Now, I can be considered promising, and if I have the opportunity to become a battalion commander, I can live up to their expectations..." Wei He said softly, full of sighs.
Zhang Tianhai had been listening to Wei He's words without interrupting the latter. This was the first time he heard Wei He talk about why he wanted to join the army and his family affairs. Maybe it was because Wei He was dead in him. The shadow of his eldest brother, so Wei Hecai has been following him to kill the enemy desperately, not afraid of death.
"Okay, I promise you this request. From now on, your parents are my Zhang Tianhai's parents. If you violate this oath, you will be struck by thunder and you will die!" Zhang Tianhai solemnly raised his right hand. , raised those three fingers, this was the only promise he could give.
A gentleman's promise is as valuable as a thousand pieces of gold!
"Okay, I feel relieved when the regiment commander says this. Please rest assured, regiment commander. The first battalion must have people in the position. Less than three hours ago, I, Wei He, will never let go of a Japanese." Go over!" Wei He solemnly saluted with a military salute.
Zhang Tianhai patted Wei He heavily on the shoulder again and said, "Okay, stop saying those depressing words and perform your mission well. When you come back, I will personally promote you to the position of battalion commander!"
"Yes!" Wei He responded again, with a simple smile on his honest face again.
Just when Zhang Tianhai was about to leave, Xiao Peihuan, Yang Ding and two company commanders ran up to Zhang Tianhai and said, "Sir, our two companies have been concentrated."
"Well, Commander Xiao, how many casualties did your company have?" Zhang Tianhai asked. After all, the main attack mission this time was given to Xiao Peihuan's company, so the question of how many casualties their company had had must be asked.
"Our company had a total of thirty-two casualties, twenty-one of whom died on the spot, three were seriously injured, and eight were slightly injured." Xiao Peihuan reported truthfully.
Zhang Tianhai waved his hand and said: "Okay, remember to bring the seriously injured people with you. Let's try to get them all out of Nanjing's jurisdiction. We can't leave a single brother behind."
"Yes!" Xiao Peixuan saluted excitedly.
"What about your company?" Zhang Tianhai looked at the machine gun company commander Yang Dinghe.
"Sir, our company has no casualties!" Yang Dinghe stood at attention and saluted.
After hearing the news, Zhang Tianhai finally felt relieved. He said: "Okay, organize a retreat immediately! You two companies still follow the old rules and follow me!"
"Yes, sir!" Xiao Peihuan, Yang Ding and the other two responded in unison.
Before leaving, Zhang Tianhai did not forget to nod to Wei He. He meant to wait for the good news of Wei He's victorious return.
Wei He also nodded towards Zhang Tianhai, indicating that Zhang Tianhai could rest assured that he would have no worries behind him.
What is trust and what is brotherhood of comrades? This is called trust, this is called brotherhood of comrades!
It’s the solemn promise you make when you’re on a dangerous mission—I’m here, don’t worry!
