The battle ended, but the smoke could not be dispersed for a long time.

The thick smell of blood filled the air, burrowing into everyone's noses, hitting their brains and hitting their hearts.

That position was like a Shura killing field, with corpses all over the field and rivers of blood.

A thunderclap fell, and dark clouds rolled in the distance.

The raindrops the size of beans fell on people, and the cold slight pain made people almost suffocate.

Perhaps, it was not rain, but the tears left by those warriors who died in this battle.

These tears do not come from fear, let alone the unwillingness to pass away, but hatred that cannot be resolved in a hundred lifetimes!

Yes, it's hatred.

Liu Cheng's lonely figure stood on that position, looking at the sky.

The icy rain hit his face, carrying his tears to the ground.

War requires sacrifice, and victory requires sacrifice; But doesn't sacrifice require grief?

The blood gradually gathered into pools of red blood under the rain, as if to let the legendary all-powerful gods see the misery on the ground.

However, no one is destined to pay attention.

"Ahh ……”

Liu Cheng, who had been standing for a long time, suddenly raised the muzzle of the gun, but the crisp sound of the German submachine gun could not hide his roar.

He can comfort others with "war requires sacrifice", but he can't comfort himself.

Wang Zhibang, who was standing beside Tian Liuwa, frowned, and asked in a low voice:

"What's the matter with you battalion commander? The battle was obviously won, but I think his state seems to be worse than defeat. ”

Tian Liuwa squinted at Wang Zhibang and said in a deep voice:

"This is the difference between our battalion commander and you, in his heart, the real victory is that our soldiers have no casualties!"

"Fart!" Wang Zhibang glared at Tian Liuwa angrily: "This is a war!" What do you think is a play house? Where did the victory come without casualties?! ”

Tian Liuwa disagreed:

"This is what makes our battalion commander different from you guys!"

Wang Zhibang was angry enough, but he was not in the mood to argue with Tian Liuwa anymore, so he simply turned around and scolded and took his people back to Xinghe City.

The only remaining three or four hundred people of the independent battalion silently approached Liu Cheng and stood silently behind him.

The rain seemed to be to calm the smoke of the battlefield, and it soon stopped.

Liu Cheng slowly raised his right hand and saluted a standard military salute.

Some emotions are just vented, and there is no need to say them; Some sorrows can only be buried deep in the heart.

Liu Cheng's breakthrough this time was indeed successful, but the price he paid was equally heavy.

The work of burying the bodies alone took a whole day.

This is still under the condition that all the remaining regiments of Wang Zhibang participated.

If you only rely on those three or four hundred remnants, I am afraid that you will not be able to bury them in three days.

In comparison, the battle in Liangcheng was relatively easy.

Shortly after the departure of the third company, another wing of the Tanaka brigade arrived.

Only this time, Tanaka Junji put another regiment from Yu Zhishan's department on the flank, instead of pushing it in front as cannon fodder.

It's not that he finds out in conscience, but he doesn't want them to waste time.

He wants to capture Liangcheng in the shortest possible time to stabilize the battle situation!

However, as soon as their offensive began, Zhou Zuopeng and the contingent of the provisional 2nd Division arrived.

Tanaka-kun and all his advantages disappeared in an instant, and the Imperial warriors he was proud of also lost their fighting power.

It is not because of fear that the fighting spirit is lost, but because of the huge gap in strength and strength.

On the surface, the Japanese army of a brigade does have the strength to easily take down the two teams of Liu Cheng and Zhou Zuopeng, but now there are two more divisions!

The independent battalion, Zhou Zuopeng's second independent battalion, plus a regiment of the provisional 2nd Division and the 110th Brigade, were more than three times the strength of Tanaka-kun and the only remaining wing.

In terms of firepower configuration, except for tanks and the six heavy guns, Tanaka Junji had less than half an advantage.

What annoyed him even more was that when he ordered the plane to carry out the bombing mission again, the other party did not respond.

Those planes were originally Tanaka-kun's biggest reliance, but now that he lost the support of the planes, he panicked instantly.

And that's just the beginning.

When Sakamoto Harusu fled back with a hundred or so remnants, Tanaka-kun couldn't believe his eyes.

No words are needed, even fools can see that Sakamoto Haru's defeat, and it was a fiasco!

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, that guy is a madman!" Sakamoto Haru's face was angry and unwilling.

"Smack!"

A resounding slap slap was slapped into Sakamoto's face, knocking him to the ground in an instant.

"Bastard! More than 4,000 Imperial warriors, under your leadership, only a few people have returned, you say, do you deserve to die?! ”

As he spoke, Tanaka-kun pulled out a pistol from his waist with a "bang", opened the safety and loaded it, and put it on the head of Sakamoto Haru.

"You should apologize with death!"

Sakamoto Chun got straight and knelt on the ground, not daring to move.

He knew that under military law, Tanaka did not have the right to execute a senior officer who was only one level younger than him, but that did not mean that he would survive.

As long as Tanaka-kun immediately reports the battle situation to the headquarters and asks for instructions to execute him by the way, he will definitely be approved.

Moreover, it is not absolutely impossible to reverse these two steps.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander! Please give your subordinates a chance to die on the battlefield and serve the Empire! ”

Tanaka-kun and the hand holding the gun exerted several times in a row, but in the end they still did not pull the trigger.

Indeed, he had no right to do that.

What's more, another wing is now trapped, and he needs to go to the prairie alone to see what the planes are all about!

For Sakamoto Haruyu at this time, as long as he is not killed on the spot, he is willing to do whatever he is asked to do.

Moreover, he said that wanting to die on the battlefield is not entirely about stalling for time.

In the last battle, he was cowardly and frightened, so he ran.

But running away was extremely humiliating for the Japanese servicemen.

If he is executed after being tried, then all the honors of his military service will be taken back, and his family will never be able to hold their heads up.

But if he can die in battle, then according to his rank, his family will receive a large pension, which is enough for them to have food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

It's a pity that his hometown is in Hiroshima.

In other words, even if he gave all the money in Japan to his family, the ending would still be the same, and he would live for eleven years at most.

After receiving an order from Tanaka-kun and asking him to take some of the remnants of the army to the grassland to check the situation of the plane, Sakamoto Haruharu was granted amnesty and fled from Tanaka-kunji's tent......
