When the Japanese gunboats started firing, the Japs who had been chased by the reconnaissance battalion to the riverside thought it was to help them snipe their pursuers. Then, when the shells exploded and revealed their true colors, the Japs immediately became confused.
"The eight grids are poison gas bombs."
"Mom, run quickly."
Some people already wanted to stop and take a breath, but when they found out it was a poison gas bomb, their faces turned pale with fear. They immediately rushed towards the river without caring about how far away the explosion point of the bomb was from them.
Although the wind is blowing from the northwest today, it is not very strong. Under this situation, no one dares to predict whether God will suddenly change his mind and turn around to have an easterly, southerly or southeasterly wind.
The captain of the landing ship had already received Oishi's order to stop the ship. Poisonous gas doesn't have eyes, and you don't know who is the master and who is the enemy. If this happens, it will be very serious if one of your own is hurt. What a joke. On the deck of the landing ship, a group of Japanese soldiers who had already prepared for battle retreated in droves. They crowded around the side of the cabin. They were silent at first, and then began to comment enthusiastically on this round of shelling. Lai: "That's it." "Good fight." "Let the Chinese know how powerful our Imperial Japanese Army is."...
"Brother Meng, put me down, I can walk by myself." Huang Zhongming said weakly to Meng Taishan,
Not only him, but all the students who were carried on their backs by their comrades were all expressing this meaning at this time,
Zhang Sanqiao's death was a huge blow to the trainees. Gas bombs are so inhumane. It doesn't matter if you are killed, but if your brothers are implicated, then you would be really sorry for them.
"Stop talking nonsense, we will be safe soon." It was naturally impossible for Meng Taishan to put him down. Although the gas bomb was inhumane and powerful, it could not shake their beliefs and principles.
Zhang Dazhu said from behind: "Let's change our seats."
Meng Taishan glared at him and shouted: "Why are you still here, kid? You think your life is not long enough, go back quickly."
Zhang Dazhu said nothing, covered the gas mask, and then groped around Meng Taishan's waist. Soon, he took out a gas mask and was about to put it on Meng Taishan when he heard him shout: "Give it to Xiao Huang." Put it on." Zhang Dazhu didn't dare to disobey and forced it on Huang Zhongming.
Putting on the gas mask, Huang Zhongming, who was already weak, started talking like a mosquito.
Meng Taishan walked as fast as flying and said: "Boy, you saved my life just now. Come on, stop making noises. Are you still a man?"
More artillery shells fell, and the impact points began to move closer to the river embankment. It seemed that Oishi Keiichiro was determined to defeat the reconnaissance battalion with poison gas bombs, and the morale of the reconnaissance battalion was finally affected. Someone He began to whisper in a low voice: "Where are our support troops?" "Isn't the First Division heading here? Why haven't they arrived yet?"
Jiang Tietou also realized the seriousness of the problem. If they could not persist until the reinforcements of the first division arrived, then their battle would be in vain. In that case, they would be very sorry for the brothers who died here and waved away. The correspondent came over and took the microphone from his hand. He began to call the First Division. Then, there was the conversation between him and Chen Hao.
After the call, he shouted to the students: "Brothers, we have contacted the first division. They will be able to arrive on the battlefield in one hour at most. We have been holding on for five hours. We must hold on for one more hour." There is absolutely no problem. Although poison gas bombs are powerful, as long as you hide upwind, there will be no problem."
The cadets on the south side of the river embankment began to avoid the southwest section. At this time, there were still several cadets running towards the river embankment. Among them were Meng Taishan who was carrying Huang Zhongming on his back and Zhang Dazhu who was following him.
"It's less than ten meters away, it's almost safe." Meng Taishan said, and at this moment, the sound of "Xu" shells piercing the air was heard, and his face suddenly changed, "NND." He cursed, Suddenly he turned over and put Huang Zhongming on the ground, and then people pressed him up. He was a veteran who had experienced many battles. He could judge the direction of the shells by listening to the sound. It was too late to hide, so he had to try his luck. Two Japanese gunboats were fired at the same time. When the cannons are fired, one of them fires poison gas bombs, while the other fires conventional artillery shells. What Meng Taishan is betting on now is that this cannonball is a conventional artillery shell.
Zhang Dazhu's battlefield experience is not much worse than that of Meng Taishan. Even his ability to distinguish the impact point of artillery shells by listening to the sound is slightly worse. At this time, seeing Meng Taishan react like this, he could guess what was going to happen, so he pounced without hesitation. He went up and pressed Mount Mengtai under him,
Meng Taishan became anxious and cursed: "Zhang Dazhu, you are crazy, you are afraid that the shrapnel cannot find you, the pile is so high, hurry up..." He wanted Zhang Dazhu to get down quickly, but his next words were violently blocked. The explosion was blocked,
Huang Zhongming had recovered a little strength at this time. He was pressed down by two strong men at the same time. He groaned in pain. He was about to say something when an explosion of "boom" sounded in his ears, and then , he felt a shock on his body, and then the weight on his body suddenly increased. He didn't know what happened, but he felt light, and then he heard Meng Taishan shouting: "Dazhu, Dazhu, open your fucking eyes." Stunned, at the next moment, a chill suddenly appeared in his heart. Meng Taishan continued to shout, and his voice was already crying: "Dazhu, Zhang Dazhu, you bastard boy, I told you not to stack things so high..." "
Zhang Dazhu died. His back was hit by more than a dozen shrapnel, turning it into a bloody mess. The most fatal wound on his body was on his head. A shrapnel penetrated the gas mask and penetrated into his head. , so that he closed his eyes without any reaction,
Huang Zhongming stood up with one hand on the ground. When he looked at Zhang Dazhu, his eyes were already misty. When he saw Zhang Dazhu's face clearly, two rivers of tears suddenly appeared on his cheeks.
Meng Taishan hugged Zhang Dazhu tightly and was speechless. Two rivers flowed from his dusty face, making his face look a little funny. This iron-like man actually shed tears. Okay, Huang Zhongming bit his lower lip with his teeth. After a few minutes, he reached out and patted Meng Taishan on the shoulder and said: "Brother Meng, please forgive me. Brother Meng, I swear to you, from now on, Brother Zhang will find you One share, and I will kill it for him."
When chatting before, Huang Zhongming once curiously asked them how many Japs they had killed. Zhang Dazhu's answer at that time was two, and then said that his ultimate goal was a hundred, "It's still far away. I have no way of killing Japs." It’s still very long.”
Huang Zhongming said: "I also want to kill a hundred, Brother Zhang, but I am interested in competing to see who of us can kill a hundred Japanese first."
Zhang Dazhu immediately got excited and said: "Let's compete, who is afraid of whom?"
Meng Taishan commented at this time: "You really dare to think about killing a hundred Japs. You think you are the commander-in-chief. You'd better save your own life first, lest you fail to kill the Japs and be killed by the Japs instead." "
Huang Zhongming and Zhang Dazhu were both silent. Then Zhang Dazhu looked at Huang Zhongming and said, "Don't be afraid. If one of us dies first, the living ones will be killed twice. How about Xiao Huang."
Huang Zhongming agreed without hesitation,
When I said these words, it was less than an hour and a half ago, but I didn't expect that it hit the mark.
Meng Taishan gritted his teeth, put down Zhang Dazhu, and said word by word: "Da Shan, don't worry, Xiao Huang and I will help you kill your share."
