Under the dim light, Rensuke Isotani's face, with his head wrapped in a death scarf, finally regained his composure.
The shouts of killing outside were so loud and the sound of gunfire was constant. Since he was determined to hold on until reinforcements arrived, Isotani Rensuke decided not to be impulsive anymore.
…
Compared with the beacon smoke filling the sky on the frontline battlefield, Xuzhou City seemed a bit dull in comparison, far away from the flames of war.
Perhaps the people feel that the current life can be tolerated. With Chief Li Zongren leading the army to garrison Xuzhou, there will definitely be no problem.
No, the menacing Japanese army made a big mistake in Taierzhuang. This battle was fought by Chief Li Zongren.
It is precisely because of the Linyi and Taierzhuang victories that the people of Xuzhou are full of confidence in the fifth theater troops commanded by Li Zongren.
But only these soldiers in Xuzhou City knew that the battle situation on the front line was ever-changing, and if they were not careful, the Japanese army could advance straight into Xuzhou City.
Everyone in the garrison is nervous. Who knows what the situation on the frontline will be like? If the situation goes bad, they have to be immediately deployed to the front line.
In short, the same sentence remains, they are ready to go to the battlefield at any time.
The night is still so cold.
On the cool and breezy streets of Xuzhou, a few slightly dim street lights are flickering. This is caused by unstable voltage.
Zhang Tianhai had already asked Wang Liang and others to go back, while he was walking to Zheng Man's residence alone.
The current situation in Xuzhou seems to be stable, but in fact it is full of dangers. By the time the Japs come to the city, it will be too late.
So, Zhang Tianhai was thinking, should Zheng Man be sent back to Wuhan? At least Wuhan didn’t fall so quickly!
The soldiers on the street were walking in a hurry. Most of them were local troops wearing iron-blue military uniforms. Only a few were from the Central Army wearing goose-yellow military uniforms. These seemed to be soldiers of the Central Army, but in fact they were directly affiliated agencies of the war zone. personnel.
After all, according to the regulations of the Nationalist Government Military Commission on military uniforms, military uniforms such as goose yellow and goose green military uniforms are regular military uniforms. It's just that due to the limited funds of the National Government, many places have not had time to change their military uniforms, that's all.
Walking slowly on the streets of Xuzhou, I unknowingly reached the building where Zheng Man rented.
The candlelight in the room was still flickering, and Zhang Tianhai also knew that Zheng Manna was waiting for him, so, inexplicably, a warm current flowed through his heart.
Why do men want to get married? Don’t they just want the feeling of a family? Even if a man goes out and wanders around again, he will always return home.
Why do men distinguish so clearly between those who are suitable as wives and those who are suitable as girlfriends? That is this yearning for home, attachment to home - a girlfriend can only bring him romance, but after romance there is always endless emptiness; only the feeling of home can make a man feel like the one he is being held by. Like a kite holding a string, there is a nostalgia for returning home.
Love, to put it bluntly, is a feeling. It depends on whether you regard it as your love or your final destination.
Thinking about it, Zhang Tianhai walked up with a smile and wanted to discuss something with Zheng Man.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk..." There was a knock on the door.
Zheng Man opened the door gently, and when he saw it was Zhang Tianhai, he immediately fell into the latter's arms.
"Why did you come back so late?" Zheng Man said coquettishly while hiding in his arms.
"There is nothing we can do about it. We are inspecting the situation of the troops. After all, we are about to go to the battlefield. If we don't train well, we may not be able to stop the Japanese army!" Zhang Tianhai gently stroked Zheng Man's arm. The head said, "Come on, let's go inside and talk. It's windy outside."
"Yes." Zheng Man nodded slightly.
The fire and candlelight in the room were dancing like elves, and the dim candlelight illuminated the sleeping faces of the two people.
"Xiao Man." Zhang Tianhai's big hand gently climbed onto Zheng Man's small hand and said very gently: "I want to send you back to Wuhan."
"What? Send it back to Wuhan?" Hearing this, Zheng Man couldn't help but become anxious and stood up immediately.
"Yes, send them back to Wuhan." Zhang Tianhai said seriously.
"Why? Why do you want to send me back to Wuhan?" Zheng Man became a little anxious.
"Because I won't worry if I leave you on the front line. Your life no longer belongs to you, it still belongs to me and our future children." Zhang Tianhai said with a very serious face.
"Why do you decide my fate so easily?" Zheng Man asked in confusion.
"Because I was thinking, if I die on the battlefield, at least I can still have a queen." Zhang Tianhai said very seriously.
Zheng Man thought for a long time and finally made a decision. She bit her lips and said, "Okay, then I'll go back to Wuhan!"
Zhang Tianhai gently touched Zheng Man's catkin and said, "Let's set out in the next two or three days. I will send a few guards to take you back. The battle on the front line is probably about to start..."
Zheng Man moved his lips lightly and said, "Then you must pay attention to your own safety. We, the two of you, are waiting for your victorious return in Wuhan."
As Zheng Man was talking, Zhang Tianhai gently scratched the bridge of her nose and said: "Fool, don't worry! How can I be so dangerous as a regimental commander? There are four main infantry battalions, plus a cavalry Battalion, an artillery battalion, a special agent company, an engineer company, a supply battalion, etc., our military strength is not weak."
"I know, I know that your fighting skills are great. But guns have no eyes, so you'd better be careful. After all, you usually like to go to the front line of the battlefield and personally command the battle." Zheng Man warned carefully.
Zhang Tianhai nodded solemnly and said, "Okay! I promise to obey my wife's command and take good care of my own safety."
After hearing these words, Zheng Man finally showed a smile on her face. She said: "For the battle on the front line, just let the four battalion commanders under you go. Besides, people like Li Chunfei and Lu Shaojie But they are all heroes in Huangpu. It is impossible to command hundreds of people, so you can rest assured."
After thinking about it, Zhang Tianhai still felt that it made perfect sense, and then gently scratched the tip of Zheng Man's nose with his index finger.
"By the way, I've left some food for you, so hurry up and eat it while it's hot!" With that said, Zheng Man stood up.
Soon, a plate of hot dishes placed on the stove to keep warm was served.
The two of them were enjoying themselves happily, and the matter was decided.
