The smoky sunshine finally dispersed the night, and a golden light shone on Suri's body.
Su Rui held Zhao Hongming's hand and said solemnly: "Brother Zhao, I will ask you to take care of these brothers of mine!"
Next to him were dozens of wounded people. Their wounds had all been carefully bandaged, and the seriously injured were also carried on stretchers. Beside them were hundreds of troops brought by Zhao Hongming.
Zhao Hongming, who had rested all night, seemed to be much more energetic than yesterday. He patted his chest carelessly and said: "Brother Su, don't worry. You are my savior. How dare I forget about you?"
Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of these brothers, and I will definitely give you a group of lively brothers when the time comes."
Su Rui smiled bitterly and shook his head: "That's no need. After the brothers recover from their injuries, they can go wherever they like. I don't know if we will be reunited after we say goodbye this time. I don't dare to think that far!
"
Zhao Hongming grinned, wanting to say some words of comfort, but he didn't know where to start. Judging from the current situation, Su Rui's stay here was purely a narrow escape from death. If he really wanted to say some words of comfort, it would be hypocritical.
Not far away from the two of them, Bai Jingran just looked at the two grown men who were reluctant to say goodbye, and then turned his eyes to the brand new M1911A1 Browning pistol newly gifted by Su Rui in his hand.
After a while, Zhao Hongming whispered to Su Rui: "Brother Su, are those students like you really unwilling to go with me, Old Zhao? It's too dangerous to stay here."
Su Rui sighed and shook his head: "I have tried to persuade them, but they refuse to do so, so what can I do?"
After listening to Su Rui's words, Zhao Hongming had no choice but to sigh, patted Su Rui's shoulder and said softly: "Forget it, then I'll leave first, bro. Things will change, bro. I'm looking forward to the day I meet you again."
,Brother, I will treat you to a drink then!"
After speaking, Zhao Hongming turned around and shouted loudly, and the entire team began to head north.
Su Rui had been standing on the road watching the team slowly go away, and then turned his head after disappearing from his sight. At this time, the original melancholy in his eyes also turned into sharpness in an instant, looking at the city still floating in the sky.
In the smoke of gunpowder, he said slowly: "Come on, little Japan, let me weigh your weight!"
The sun slowly climbed up to the rooftops, and the entire city suddenly appeared clearly in front of everyone.
In a two-story building two kilometers away from the church, a group of Japanese military officers stood behind a window hugging a general. The general was about forty years old and had a neatly trimmed mustache.
The square face also became very ferocious because of the murderous look on his face. The two gold stars inlaid on the brochure on his shoulder showed his identity as a lieutenant general. He came here on the order of King Jiuhiko of Asaka Palace.
Lieutenant General Hisao Nagatani of the Sixth Division of the Japanese Army.
Hisao Tani put down the telescope and said to Major General Sakai Tokutaro, the commander of the 11th Brigade behind him: "Sakai-kun, I heard that your 11th Division once fought against the opposite China Central Training Corps. I don't know.
What is your impression of them?"
Having said this, Major General Tokutaro Sakai couldn't help but blush. The news of the defeat of his 47th Regiment had reached the division commander's ears yesterday. It is estimated that his rival, Commander Niu of the 36th Brigade,
Major General Shimamitsu was secretly laughing at him for some unknown reason, right?
Thinking of this, Tokutaro Sakai became more and more resentful towards Takeda Shuito, the captain of the 47th Regiment. This guy who failed to achieve anything but failed, actually lost a battalion and four rapid-fire cannons in just one day.
and six infantry cannons, what a wasteful act it must be to do this!
Just when Tokutaro Sakai didn't know how to answer, Hisao Tani frowned and said, "Junii-kun, why don't you speak?"
Tokutaro Sakai quickly bowed and said: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, this is all my fault. I was too careless. I didn't expect that the army on the opposite side turned out to be members of the teaching corps of the Central Military Academy of China. This resulted in the loss of loyal and brave soldiers of the empire."
I have suffered undue casualties, please punish me, Division Commander."
At this time, Tokutaro Sakai was already mentally prepared to be scolded or even punished. Unexpectedly, Hisao Tani waved his hand and said, "Hey... I can't blame you entirely. After all, you are facing
We are the most elite force in China, and some setbacks are inevitable. As long as you can remember where you fall, you have to get up. Today is also the time for you to avenge your shame. I hope you will not let me down again.
Already."
"Hai!"
What a surprise! The surprise came unexpectedly. Tokutaro Sakai, who was already prepared to withstand the wrath of thunder, raised his head in disbelief: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, I..."
"You don't need to say anything!" Hisao Tani sneered and waved his hand to stop him from speaking, "Since you suffered a loss yesterday, let's just get it back today. Ushijima-kun, today it depends on your 36th Brigade.
, after preparing the artillery fire, you can command the troops to launch an attack!"
Ushijima Mitsuru, who had been waiting on the side for a long time, immediately responded: "Hai, after the artillery fire is prepared, our 36th Brigade will immediately go into attack, and we will definitely put the head of the China general in front of you!"
"Yoshi!" Hisao Tani nodded with satisfaction: "Then I'll leave it to Ushijima-kun!"
Major General Ushijima Mitsuru, who had a round face, bowed and said: "I heard that the China Army has heavy mortars, and this place is also within the enemy's range. For the safety of the division commander, I would like to ask you to move them.
Back off."
"Well, I understand, hurry up and get ready!"
Half an hour later, the battle began. The first to fire were the Japanese thirty-six Type 90 75mm caliber field guns.
This is a field gun with a long range and quite good power. However, compared to its weight of 1.6 tons, the Japanese artillery troops often complained that it was too heavy.
But these are all digressions. When the thirty-six field artillery fired together, they saw a fire on the Chinese army position one kilometer away. Countless houses collapsed under the gunfire. The sky was accompanied by the fire.
Waves of dust flew into the sky.
Suri and Bai Jingran squatted in a temporarily dug shell-proof cave and watched helplessly as the shells fell around them, making the earth tremble.
From time to time, gunpowder smoke rose up after exploding artillery shells, rolling on the trembling position and climbing to the top of the sky, chasing each other. The whistling projectiles were hidden in the billowing flames and fell down. After experiencing several shellings in the past few days, Suri has been able to be relatively calm.
The ground is facing this kind of situation. As long as there is a safe hiding place, he can safely distinguish the location it is about to arrive by relying on the harsh sound of the projectile breaking through the air.
The coverage density of the Japanese army's artillery fire was quite high and very targeted. It seemed to make people feel that several artillery shells were falling at the same place. The artillery shells hit the wet and muddy position with a dull explosion, and the dark red and hot fires were like individual shells.
Huge cancerous tumors swelled on the surface of the hills, and then turned into a torrential sea of fire and scattered in all directions.
"Whizzing……"
"Boom boom boom..."
A shell exploded less than ten meters away from Suri's bomb-proof hole. Although it was still some distance away from the explosion site, Suri always felt that every time it exploded, he felt like a giant hammer hit him hard.
On your chest, it seems as if the God of Death is not far away from you, with chaotic footsteps and invisible pressure following your nerves and stabbing every inch of your limbs. Your hands and feet may even twitch involuntarily following bursts of explosions.
"What a bastard little Japan. When I have time, I will build a large number of cannons. Each one will fire cannonballs and each one will fire feces. It will disgust you little devils to death!"
Su Rui covered his ears and thought angrily, his eyes scanning Bai Jingran's figure unwillingly. If he hadn't strongly suggested that his 120 artillery should be concealed first and not be able to fight back, why would he be like this?
Embarrassing, what else can you say? Just use it on the edge of a knife!
The shelling lasted as long as a century. After an unknown amount of time, the shelling finally stopped.
At the same time, the voice of the observation post outside also rang, "The Japanese are about to attack, brothers, hurry up and get into position!"
PS: There was lightning and thunder this afternoon, and there was a power outage. The power was not sent until after five o'clock, and I hurriedly coded a chapter.
