"Today is October 31, 1939, and it is also the thirteenth day of the siege of Jinhua by the Zhina people, and our brigade has changed from the original 1,100 people to only 327 people, but this is only the number of last night, presumably after this morning's battle, the number will be even less, right?"

Ryosuke Hagiwara moved his wrist, continued to pick up the pencil that was almost used to the end, and continued to write in the notebook that was almost full: "Today, our acting captain Captain Rinda Tsuruta was also killed, and now Lieutenant Yuki Imanishi of the fifth squadron is in command, and I, a senior soldier who has been in the army for less than two years, has also become a squad leader, which is really incredible, if my family knows the news, I will definitely be crazy with joy, but as a person concerned, I only feel fear, Because after the attack of the Shina people, there were already six people who held this position, and the longest of them lived for three days, and the shortest was only three hours, and I am the seventh squad leader, Amaterasu, bless me to return home alive. ”

"Day...... Boom ......"

A mortar shell landed just over twenty meters away from Ryosuke Hagiwara and exploded, and after the explosion, several exclamations rang out, and two Japanese soldiers ran towards the explosion site, and soon they carried a bloody soldier over.

"Who is it this time?" Someone asked not far away.

"It's the flat-tailed guy." Someone replied in a low voice.

"Flattail? This guy is so unlucky, he's going to retire next month. ”

"Who's to say it's not, but don't care about others, first care about whether we can survive today."

With a few chatters, the surrounding movement gradually became smaller.

"Damn it!" Ryosuke Ogiwara put down the notebook in annoyance, walked to the back room, and saw that his body was hit by shrapnel like a leaky sack, this young man from Kumamoto is twenty-five years old this year, and he was going to retire and marry his fiancée in less than a month, but now looking at his appearance, it is estimated that his fiancée can only receive his urn.

Ryosuke Hagiwara walked up to Hirao's side and said to him loudly, "Hirao-kun, do you have anything you want me to tell you about the family?" ”

With a bloody face and a dying Hirao, he struggled to point to the pocket on his chest with his left hand, which was still moving. Ryosuke Hagiwara knowingly took out a blood-stained letterhead from his pocket, held it up in front of his eyes and asked loudly, "Is this the thing?" ”

Hirao nodded weakly, and whispered in a weak voice, "...... for me" Give it to my fiancée for me, bye...... Please......"

"Don't worry, if I can go back alive, I will!" Ryosuke Hagiwara made a promise that he didn't even believe.

"Thank you...... Thank you! Hirao closed his eyes after speaking.

Looking at Hirao, who had stopped breathing, Ryosuke Hagiwara only felt a feeling of annoyance in his chest, and casually put the red-dyed letterhead into his pocket, and then touched his body for a while, and finally only found an empty cigarette case, and when he threw the cigarette case away irritably, a soldier next to him took out a cigarette and handed it to him.

Ryosuke Hagiwara took the cigarette and looked at it, but he was not only a little surprised but also said, "Yo Xi, Iwai-kun, you have a good life, you have such a good cigarette." ”

"Your Excellency smiled." The private said with some embarrassment: "This is what I touched from a soldier who died in battle three days ago, and I have never been willing to finish it." Ryosuke Hagiwara said as he pulled out a lighter from his pocket, and with a clink, a dark blue flame also rose, and the two began to crouch in the corner and swallow the mist.

Halfway through a cigarette, Private asked in a dull voice, "Hagiwara-kun, can we still go back to Japan alive?" ”

"How do I know?" Ryosuke Hagiwara glared at him in annoyance, their team had lost another seven or eight people this morning.

A long puff of smoke came out of his mouth, and the young private said a little irritably: "I don't understand, it's not like our 103rd Division hasn't fought with the Shina people, the previous Shina army is not an exaggeration, our squad can defeat hundreds of them, but now it's the other way around, doesn't Amaterasu bless us?" You know, whether it's marksmanship or bayonet fighting, they are not our opponents! ”

"You know what." Ryosuke Hagiwara took out a lighter and shook it in front of his eyes, "Do you know why the Shina people were able to beat us so badly?" That's why, it's said that each soldier in China can give out a pack of cigarettes a day, but we should be thankful that we can give out a pack a week. By the time our rifles fired a single shot, the five or six rounds they had fired back had already hit. What is the use of accurate marksmanship? What's the use of you fighting bayonets? The people of China will not fight with you with bayonets at all, people can pile you to death with bullets, and fools will fight with you with bayonets. ”

"Yaga!" The private leaned against the wall in frustration, cursed, and stopped talking.

"Alright." Ryosuke Hagiwara looked at the watch on his wrist and patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't think about it, in more than ten minutes, the people of China should finish lunch and start attacking, you kid should be smart, don't pile up in crowded places, you must know that the mortars of the people of China like to shoot at crowded places, try to survive!" ”

"Hay! Please take care! The private also bowed solemnly to Ryosuke Hagiwara.

"Treasure it!"

Ryosuke Hagiwara dragged his tired steps back to a half-blown room, leaning against the corner of the wall and was about to take out his notebook and rewrite his diary, when suddenly there was a familiar whistling sound in the sky.

"The people of the branch have fired, everyone disperse quickly!" Ryosuke Hagiwara quickly stood up and shouted loudly around him.

"Boom...... Boom ......"

As soon as his words fell, several explosions rang out, and an eighty-two millimeter mortar shell landed in the corner of the wall not far from him, and with a bang, the wall that Ryosuke Hagiwara was leaning against also collapsed, burying the unprepared Ryosuke Hagiwara inside, and Ryosuke Hagiwara, who was shouting loudly, only felt that his head was hit hard by something, and then he only felt that he didn't know anything when it was dark in front of him......

Half an hour later, Major General Taro Iwasaki hurriedly walked to Lieutenant General Toyoshi Muraoka, who was looking down at the map, and said urgently: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, the defense lines of the Eastern District such as Xiukou Street and Lion Street have been lost, and the 176th Independent Brigade stationed there has all been shattered, and the artillery of the China people has also been strengthened a lot, and there is even intelligence that the chariots of the China people have even begun to appear on some positions. ”

Hearing this, Toyoshi Muraoka, who was originally drawing something on the map, couldn't help but stiffen his hand, and then sighed slowly, "It's finally lost, it seems that the patience of the people of Shina has been exhausted, otherwise they wouldn't even use something like a chariot that is easy to be attacked in street battles." ”

"Your Excellency the division commander, you have to make a decision as soon as possible, now we can control fewer and fewer blocks, and if this continues, I am afraid that we may not even be able to survive tomorrow, just now I even received a report that the figure of the soldier of the branch has appeared not five hundred meters away from us." Major General Taro Iwasaki's expression was haggard and anxious.

"The day has finally come."

Muraoka muttered, then looked up and asked, "Iwasaki-kun, how many people are there in your eighty-second brigade?" I mean soldiers who can still fight. ”

"There are less than two thousand left." Taro Iwasaki replied bitterly.

"Less than two thousand people...... Muraoka Feng said slowly, and he calculated silently at random before saying: "There are more than 3,000 people in my 103rd Division, which means that there are only more than 5,000 warriors who can still hold guns now, and according to this style of fighting, we can at most last until the day after tomorrow, if the reinforcements do not appear, we can only break all the jade to repay His Majesty the Emperor." ”

"Gaba!" Iwasaki Taro scolded angrily: "Are those reinforcements all ****, we have been holding out in this lonely city for thirteen days...... It's been thirteen days, and even a turtle can climb there in such a long time, but we haven't even expected a single reinforcement, does he really want to watch our jade shatter here? ”

Seeing Taro Iwasaki's gaffe, Yutaka Muraoka couldn't help but shout: "Okay, Iwasaki-kun, don't complain, this is our fate, from the moment we put on this military uniform, we have been ready to die in battle, haven't you seen it clearly after so many years?" ”

"I ...... I'm ......" Looking at Lieutenant General Toyo Muraoka, who was a little violent, Taro Iwasaki's face was blue and red, and he snorted coldly and strode out without saying a word.

Looking at his departing figure, Muraoka Feng sighed lightly and walked to the side of the operator and said in a deep voice, "You...... Immediately draft me a telegram that reads as follows......"

On a street more than 1,000 meters away from the Japanese headquarters, where the fighting had just stopped, Crawford, Carr, Nicholas, and other members of the observation group, as well as Xu Zhuangzhi and other officers of the Military and Political Department, walked slowly down the street that was still filled with gunsmoke.

"Oh, look, this position was blown up by mortar artillery, and these Japanese are too rigid, and they dare to use it as a machine gun position in such a place where the cannon is finished." Crawford exclaimed as he looked at a blown up machine-gun emplacement.

"And there's more." Karl, who was on the side, also pointed to another place and said, "Although I am not in the army, I can see that it is a dream to resist the attack of tanks in such a place." But why did they do it, is this what the Japanese call the spirit of bushido? ”

Several Americans were talking in a low voice, and suddenly Nicholas on the side suddenly pointed not far away and said: "Look, there is a Japanese soldier there who is not dead yet?" ”

I wanted to sleep after eating a chapter at noon today, because I didn't sleep well last night, and the hospital bed was too small, and the two of them slept really crowded. Sometimes in the middle of the night, the daughter-in-law coughs too badly, Ah Ding has to get up to serve her, but just after sleeping for a while, he was woken up by his daughter-in-law, she told me that someone gave this book a reward of 50,000 starting coins, Ah Ding opened the phone and looked, it turned out to be true, speaking of which, this is also the largest reward that Ah Ding has ever received for this book.
