At this moment, a rumbling sound of cannons came from the direction of Huishan Wharf.

Yes, it's just the sound of cannons. After staying in the army for so long and going to the battlefield, Zhang Tianhai would definitely not admit his mistake in this sound.

I saw beautiful arcs drifting in the sky, fleeting, like beautiful sunlight fireworks.

It was a whistling shell!

The shells slashed through the sky with a scream, carrying a little star-like light, as if they were dotting the blue sky with light, and then hit hard on the area near Huishan Pier.

The sound of cannons is deafening.

"Oh no, it's the regiment headquarters." Zhang Tianhai's face changed slightly. Hearing the sound of cannons, he understood that the regiment had already issued an offensive order to take down Huishan Wharf, and the Japanese naval guns and artillery launched a bombardment.

Zhang Tianhai did not say that he was afraid of death and changed his face, but that he was hit by this gun, and I don’t know how many officers and soldiers were going to sacrifice again.

"Damn the Japanese!" Zhang Tianhai cursed gritted his teeth, and felt unsatisfied after cursing. He kicked the Japanese army closest to him in the butt, and kicked the Japanese army to the ground in an instant.

Seeing that the Japanese army was screaming on the ground in pain, no soldier stopped him. That was what these Japanese deserved. Why didn’t they think about the consequences before they came to this land?

After kicking down the Japanese army, Zhang Tianhai felt the depression in his chest slightly subsided. He said, "Help him get up! When the bombardment stops, we will take these Japanese back to the regiment headquarters and the regiment headquarters will deal with it!"

"Yes!" the soldiers responded.

At this time, Company Commander Zhang Tianhai's prestige was extraordinary in the Second Company, and even surpassed the Company Commander Li Haocheng who had already died. The soldiers admired Company Commander Zhang from the bottom of their hearts and were willing to obey his orders. Even if this order was to tie explosives to bomb the Japanese bunkers and Japanese tanks, they were willing to.

At this time, Zhang Tianhai counted the number of people in the Second Company, leaving only seventy-three officers and soldiers. The first platoon leader Luo Mingyu died in the battle just now, and the second platoon leader also changed his individuals. Only the third platoon leader chased after him with a minor injury.

From 215 people when he set out in Xi'an, and now there are 74 people left, and he thought, Zhang Tianhai's nose was a little sore.

Those are all living lives...

Listening to the rumbling cannons in the distance, Zhang Tianhai was a little confused. He couldn't understand why God sent him to this cruel era and why he wanted to watch his brothers sacrifice one by one and leave the world one by one.

But he couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it.

Not long after, the sound of artillery stopped. Perhaps the reason why the Japanese army needed to save shells was that the shelling stopped. After all, in Shanghai, it was not Japan's land, and it was not the only way to replenish ammunition.

Zhang Tianhai took his troops and escorted the eleven surrendered Japanese troops back the same way.

When Zhang Tianhai returned to the section where Dongxi Huade Road and Broadway Road and Huishan Wharf crossed, the place was already full of wilderness.

There is no one here, to be precise, there is no living person.

Everything seems empty.

The burning cloth made crackling sounds; the cement floor that was cracked by shells was broken and uneven...

There was a strong smell of gunpowder floating on the entire battlefield, and the ground was covered with minced meat that many officers and soldiers who were no longer recruits couldn't help but vomit, including the eleven surrendered Japanese troops.

This is no longer the ten-mile foreign market of the past, but the hell on earth!

The bodies lying on the ground include national and Japanese, with broken arms and broken limbs everywhere.

Zhang Tianhai looked at the steel helmet on the ground with the blue sky and white sun badge, and tears couldn't be suppressed. Many of the people who fell on the ground were his brothers under Zhang Tianhai...

Except for the Japanese corpses, the rest were all soldiers of their 216th Regiment.

Just yesterday, they had dinner, sang together, and discussed how to defeat the Japanese.

But what about now? Only one cold corpse was left, and more than one hundred brothers were sacrificed in their second company alone!

Just one night...

"Company Commander!" A voice called out to Zhang Tianhai.

Zhang Tianhai looked back and saw that it was Xu Sangou.

At this time, Xu Sangou's eyes were also red, and his whole face was covered with black and gray smoke.

"Let's go! Go back! The group seats have already retreated." Zhang Tianhai held back tears and said with a sad feeling.

Xu Sangou's nose was already red, his eyes were filled with tears, and he said softly with grief: "Company Commander... All the people in our squad have been sacrificed, and I am the only one left..."

After saying this, Xu Sangou finally couldn't help it and cried loudly like a child.

Everyone present empathized with it. They had just experienced the loss and the loss of their comrades who were with them day and night, so they could understand the young Xu Sangou.

Looking at Xu Sangou who was crying like a child, Zhang Tianhai felt sad. He had no ability to stop all this and could not change China's destiny.

"Xu Sangou! Don't cry! Hold it back!" Zhang Tianhai hardened his heart and ordered Xu Sangou, but he himself couldn't hold back the tears.

One, two...

Tears popped up on the dusty ground, splashing drops of water.

After a long time, Zhang Tianhai sighed softly: "Let's go! Go back to the army!"
