"Yu Lin, war always requires sacrifices. Company Commander Xiang is not the first, nor will he be the last." Sun Hong said with a hard heart. Zhang Tianhai is a soft-hearted person. He knows that this is a war period.

, Zhang Tianhai, as the battalion commander, cannot be swayed by emotions at this time.

Zhang Tianhai nodded silently: "Yes... indeed, I know. As long as this war is not over, people will continue to die..."

Looking at Zhang Tianhai's still sad expression, Sun Hong bit his lip and said: "Batalion Commander, in my opinion, the enemy is likely to launch a large-scale attack, and the company may not be able to withstand it. What's next?"

Don’t ask for help from the regiment headquarters?”

Zhang Tianhai thought for a while, nodded and said: "Well, let's ask for help now. After all, children who cry will have milk to drink. If you lose your position, you will be the sinner."

"Okay. I'll call the regiment headquarters for help." Sun Hong responded, then strode towards the phone.

After a while, the call was connected, and Sun Hong said: "Hello, is this the regiment headquarters? I am Sun Hong, deputy commander of the first battalion. I am looking for the regiment commander. Please answer the phone immediately."

"I'm Hu Jiaji. If you have anything to say, just tell me!" Hu Jiaji's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hey, regiment, since eight o'clock in the morning, the enemy has launched a large-scale and high-intensity attack on our position. Now our battalion has suffered heavy casualties. Now only the last company is left to climb up. The whole battalion is asking the regiment for support.

!" Sun Hong stopped talking and went straight to the topic.

"What about Zhang Tianhai? What's wrong with him? Why didn't he call in person?" Hu Jiaji did not answer the question directly. Instead, he asked about Zhang Tianhai. After all, Zhang was the person he promoted and the officer he was most optimistic about.

, he didn’t want Zhang Tianhai to die on the battlefield like this.

Because Hu Jiaji felt that Zhang Tianhai was a talent and must play a greater role in future battlefields!

"Battle Commander Zhang led his troops to sneak attack on the Japanese headquarters last night, causing his wounds to collapse and fall into coma. He just returned to the battalion headquarters and is now lying on a stretcher." Sun Hong reported truthfully.

"Isn't this nonsense? Let me tell you, reinforcements are not a problem. I will immediately dispatch two companies from the Second Battalion to support you, but the premise is that you must withstand me for one hour. If you can't withstand even one hour, you and Zhang

Tianhai and I, come and see you!" After saying that, Hu Jiaji hung up the phone directly without giving Sun Hong any time to explain.

Listening to the busy signal of the communication being hung up, Sun Hong laughed silently. In any case, reinforcements were coming.

"Old Sun, what did the regiment say?" Although he saw Sun Hong's expression as if reinforcements were already arriving, Zhang Tianhai still wanted to confirm. After all, this war is not a vague use of "should" or "maybe".

The word should be "affirmation"!

"The regimental leader said, let us hold on for another hour, and he transferred two companies from the second battalion to support us." Sun Hong put down the microphone, with a slightly relaxed look on his face.

"It seems that the regiment headquarters still supports our first battalion. If not, our first battalion may not even have any seeds." Zhang Tianhai said pretending to be relaxed.

In fact, Commander Hu was not generally concerned about the 1st Battalion, but very concerned about it. No, fifteen minutes after the call for help came, Hu Jiaji personally arrived at the 1st Battalion headquarters.

Compared with Zhang Tianhai's situation, Captain Hu's situation seems to be worse. Why do you say this? After all, Zhang Tianhai only had one gunshot wound, but Hu Jiaji was different, with five minor injuries and wounds in all five places.

bandage.

"Team seats!"

"Team seats!"

…

After Hu Jiaji entered the camp headquarters, everyone stood up and saluted, including Zhang Tianhai who was lying on a stretcher. However, Zhang Tianhai was pinned down before he could get up.

It was Hu Jiaji who instructed the guards to hold him down.

"You've just woken up and you've already been treated like this. Let me tell you, it's true that you'll kill a few more little Japs for me later." After seeing that Zhang Tianhai's injuries didn't seem that serious, Hu Jiaji's face relaxed slightly.

"Thank you very much for your concern. Protecting the home and country is a humble duty. You should serve the party and the country with your own life. Please rest assured that you can kill two, not just one." Zhang Tianhai promised with a smile on his face.

gave an ugly smile.

Hu Jiaji straightened his face and said: "Okay. I have worked hard for you these past two days. I am determined to defeat the Japanese invaders today. I desperately want to break through our division's position and join forces with the Japanese invaders from Luodian to form an encirclement of our army."

.The 11th Division fought bloody battles in Luodian for two days and suffered heavy casualties. If their 11th Division can fight, our 36th Division is no worse than their 11th Division!"

"Yes, group seat!" Everyone present stood in awe and straightened their backs.

Fifteen minutes later, the Japanese army launched another fierce artillery bombardment, and then launched another fierce attack. The intensity of the attack was no weaker than any previous one!

As the main defensive force of the 216th Regiment, the 1st Battalion was naturally the first to bear the brunt, especially since the 1st Battalion's headquarters was located relatively close to the forward position.

Yes, like all adventurous commanders, Zhang Tianhai likes to set up his headquarters close to the forward position. In his own words, that is - I want all the brothers in the first battalion to see

Come on, my headquarters is set up at such a forward location to fight side by side with them!

Indeed, if all the officials are afraid of death, how can they keep the brothers below them from moving forward? As the saying goes, "If a soldier is a raging soldier, a general will be raging in a den."

The cannons rumbled, each shot piercing the air with scorching heat, and struck hard on the ground, which was also filled with layers of heat.

On this day, there was no rain, and the harsh sunshine wanted to evaporate everything on the earth. Fortunately, the refreshing sea breeze came slowly, otherwise this place would be a furnace!

"Boom~~Boom!!!"

"Boom~~Boom!!!"

…

This sound is by no means music to the ears, especially to the side being bombed.

The shells hit the already ruined town, making terrible noises and splashing bricks and stones. Fortunately, anti-shell defenses had been prepared, otherwise there would have been a lot of casualties.

The bombing noise made by the artillery shells was not small, even the first battalion's headquarters was no exception. Silks of sand and ash would leak from the top and sprinkle on everyone's clothes or hats.

"Bah, bah, bah!"

The person spitting out sand was Zhang Tianhai. He was lying on a stretcher and couldn't dodge for a while, and a few sand fell into his mouth.

It would be false to say that you are not depressed when being bombarded by others with big artillery, especially Comrade Zhang Tianhai. In future generations, no matter which joint operations they have, they will be able to receive priority support from artillery fire from their own large forces and air firepower. How can it be like now?

I have been bombarded for several days.

Of course, this is not the key, the key is that they cannot retreat!
