Chapter 35 Save face

"Haha, I hope!" Hu Jiaji was both angry and funny when he thought of Zhang Tianhai's appearance as if he had eaten shit.

...

For Zhang Tianhai, it was just a small episode, and life should be lived.

At most, the captain's threatening tone made him feel very unhappy, and that's all.

After returning to the first battalion, Zhang Tianhai began to organize troops to evacuate, arranged according to the battle sequence of each squad and platoon. In this circle, there were more or less people left in these classes, except for the only one in the class where Xu Sangou was in.

Seeing Xu Sangou standing alone in the queue of the third squad in the second company row, Zhang Tianhai felt a little sad. He thought about whether to transfer Xu Sangou from the position of squad leader to his side to be a guard.

But looking at Xu Sangou's firm face, Zhang Tianhai was a little shaken again: He was the only one left in the row of three shifts. If he was pulled away, then the row of three shifts would be considered a break incense.

"Everyone has it! Turn right!!!" Zhang Tianhai shouted loudly, his face always showing the firmness that has not changed for thousands of years.

The queue was not neatly arranged like the army in later generations. On the contrary, it was scattered and exposed everywhere - this was a tired army.

To be honest, Zhang Tianhai was indeed more or less dissatisfied with the scene in front of him - but what could he do? No matter how powerful he is, he is just an ordinary person, without the magic of spelling beans into soldiers, nor the skill of resurrection. Therefore, he could only turn a blind eye.

If he had the chance, he would also want to train a strong soldier. But does he have the chance? No! The Japanese have already hit the doorstep. At this time, he had no choice but to fight to the end, and there was no other choice!

Zhang Tianhai ran to the side of the queue and ordered loudly: "Target, the suburbs of Shanghai, follow the third camp in front, run~ walk!"

This defense zone has been taken over by the troops of the 213th Regiment, so the First and Third Battalions, which had heavy casualties in this battle, withdrew from the battlefield, while the Second Battalion, which had a relatively minor combat injury, remained on this battlefield, and reinforced the 212th Regiment that was attacking Yangshupu at any time.

To be honest, for Zhang Tianhai, the war was over and he was unable to send the sacrificed brothers on his last journey. This was his greatest regret.

However, Zhang Tianhai also knew clearly that the battle was far from over. Although he could not remember how long the three German divisions had fought on the battlefield in total, he knew that after the Third Division and the 11th Division led by the Japanese General Matsui Ishione landed, the battle was truly kicked off.

In this battle, no one knows who can survive to the end and who can survive to the moment of retreating, but Zhang Tianhai knows that Commander Song and Commander Hu will definitely survive.

And Zhang Tianhai's own fate is just a mystery - maybe he can live intact; maybe he is seriously injured, then he is disabled for life, lonely but life is still alive; or he is sacrificed on this land he loves, flashing like a dazzling meteor.

The end of the Battle of Shanghai finally ended with the defeat of the Chinese army.

It is precisely because I know the result that I feel pain - when the Battle of Songhu is over, there will probably be no familiar face around me again, right? Zhang Tianhai thought.

The rest and recuperation locations of the 1st and 3rd battalions of the 216th Regiment are in the suburbs, so their destination is in the suburbs.

The leaders of the army were accompanied by Chief of Staff Fang Ren and Guo Qiliang, who was transferred to the regiment headquarters as the staff. As for the regiment commander Hu Jiaji, because of the inconvenience of movement, he simply stayed near the battlefield hospital with a group of guards to rest. It happened that the division seat had something to look for him, so he just stopped going.

"Zhang Yulin, you guys are OK. Tell me, how did you fascinate reporter Zheng?" Running next to Zhang Tianhai, Chief of Staff Fang Ren joked with the former.

Yes, although Fang Ren was the chief of staff with the rank of lieutenant colonel at this time, as a student who graduated from the sixth grade of infantry in Huangpu, his old skills were not lost.

That’s right, like students who graduate from other disciplines, the old skills of these infantry students are also long-distance running.

Just imagine, this era has very underdeveloped transportation, and many places can only be passed by human legs. In addition to incomplete infrastructure, more importantly, the means of transportation are underdeveloped.

The Huangpu students in the cavalry department can also say that they have war horses, but what about infantry? They have to rely on two legs to charge.

Therefore, Fang Ren's running speed is no slower than Zhang Tianhai's running.

"Brother Zhengguo, why are you making fun of me like this?" Zhang Tianhai was really amused and crying about Fang Ren who looked gossipy - why are the top leaders of the 216th Group more gossipy than the other? And they are so tireless?

"Hey, we are just a group of big men who are bound in the army all day long. They fight every day, and there are rare interesting stories. If you don't make fun of who you are?" Fang Ren smiled while running. I have to say that this guy has really good physical strength.

Zhang Tianhai thought about it and felt that everyone was a man, and there was no need to hide it like this. So he grinned the two neat rows of big white teeth and smiled: "Okay, I will admit it honestly. Maybe it's because of the handsome and elegant person, it's okay to confuse one or two pretty ladies."

"Brothers of the First Battalion, have you seen that your new battalion commander is so shameless. If anyone can't get a wife after the war, he will ask your battalion commander for you. With his broken mouth, he will definitely be able to ask you for a good wife. Hahahaha..." Fang Ren shouted loudly to the officers and soldiers around him.

"Hahahaha..." A burst of laughter suddenly broke out in the team, and finally some came out of the haze of the battle.

Wars always kill people. Of course, most of the veteran elite troops like the 36th Division are veterans. Of course, these veterans are more open-minded than those new recruits.

"Brother Zhengguo, can you give me some face to me? I've just taken office, how can I convince everyone like this..." Zhang Tianhai lowered his voice and begged for mercy.

Fang Ren just smiled lightly, didn't say anything, and then ran to the front of the team.

The remaining soldiers of the two battalions of the 216th Regiment ran through many places where the battles were fought. There were many corpses of officers and soldiers lying on the ground, including Chinese soldiers wearing German M35 helmets, and Japanese soldiers wearing black naval uniforms.

The burning flames burned a pungent smoke, and the logistics team formed by the people spontaneously was carrying the wounded soldiers to the battlefield hospital in the division headquarters for treatment.

Everything is showing, and a very fierce battle has just begun here.

Because the soldiers who fell to the ground were more Chinese soldiers, and these Chinese soldiers were soldiers of the 212th Regiment of the 106th Brigade of their 36th Division!
