Dong Limao looked at the camera on Elizabeth Teri's chest and said, "Miss Teri, please follow them quickly. I think we can meet again." He felt that the photo of his great-grandfather should have been taken by this beautiful blonde and blue-eyed reporter.

Elizabeth Terry had no intention of leaving. She shook her head and said, "I can use firearms. Please give me a gun. I want to fight the Japanese army with you!"

Dong Limao looked up the hill, and the gunshots were getting more and more intense, so he said to the brothers scattered around him: "Deputy Company Commander Zhu and others are in trouble, come with me!" After that, he took out the pistol from his waist holster, pulled it up, and handed it to Elizabeth Terry. He thought this would be good. With her, he would not worry about no one taking the photo of the great-grandfather.

What Zhu Yongsheng and the others encountered was not a small group of Japanese troops counterattack, but two or three hundred people. When he saw the Japanese army rushing to the hill from the road, he turned around and looked at the church wall behind him, and saw that people were still running forward. If he led his brothers to retreat now, Dong Limao and the others would definitely be blocked by the Japanese devils. So he gave all the soldiers a death order: "No one is allowed to retreat without my permission! We cannot let the devils leapt across our defense line. Brothers keep calm and don't do anything first. When the devils get closer, then beat them, a group of dog-dance bastards!"

Perhaps the Japanese army realized that this battle was not to break through their defense line, but to rescue the people in the church. Therefore, the reinforcements on the front and left and right sides of the church did not increase, but surrounded the church from the back of the church, trying to block the rescuers in the church. In this way, the pressure on the front and left and right sides of the church was significantly reduced.

Gou Hao and his friends fired the last mortar shells, and after going downstairs, they guarded the right side to ensure that the rescued journalists and missionaries entered the British defensive area safely. Fortunately, there was no Japanese army pounce on the right side, and they almost did not use any resistance. But when Gou Hao saw that the British army at the end came out of the woods and before he could see Dong Limao and the others, he stopped the translator and asked: "Why haven't the company commander and the others withdrawn?"

The translator just wanted to escape back to the frontier positions of the British army as soon as possible, and simply said: "Captain Dong and his men were blocking the Japanese army on the hills." After that, he ran away.

Zhu Yongsheng and his team waited for the Japanese army to climb half of the hill, about fifty meters away from the top of the hill. He ordered: "Kill!"

Two machine guns swept towards the bushes under the hills. While a bush was swept away as if it was cut by a knife, the row of Japanese soldiers walking in the front also fell down. Machine guns, submachine guns, and strings of bullets full of hatred, densely suppressed the Japanese army under the hills so that they could not lift their heads up.

This is the dense gunfire from the hills that Dong Limao and the others heard.

Dong Limao, a squad brother and female reporter Taili, rushed to the hills and encountered the second round of charge from the Japanese army. This time, the Japanese army fired mortars from across the road.

The shells roared and exploded one after another in the cemetery behind them. Perhaps because of the shade of trees, it affected the Japanese mortars' accurate judgment of the target. The first round of shells did not explode on the top of the hill.

Dong Limao ran to Zhu Yongsheng and looked at the Japanese army climbing up densely under the hills and said, "Brother, you can't fight. You can retreat quickly with your people, let's stop the Japanese!"

"No! Listen to me this time, take the people away!" Zhu Yongsheng threw a grenade down and said loudly to Dong Limao.

Taili crawled at the root of a pine tree, and was pressed down by the bullets shot from below and couldn't raise her head. She couldn't shoot down with the gun in her hand. She was so scared that she pressed her head tightly against the root of the tree and cried.

Dong Limao saw that Taili was so frightened that she was at a loss, she stood up and wanted to run over. At this moment, a mortar shell flew over. When Zhu Yongsheng saw that something was wrong, he jumped up and rushed over, pressed Dong Limao to the ground, and the shell landed behind him.

Zhang Dali and Zhao Yong heard the explosion of shells and fierce gunshots from the woods behind the church. They knew that the company commander and the others must have been blocked by the Japanese army, but they could not withdraw to support them. Zhang Dali was so anxious that he shouted: "Class 1 comes with me! Class 2 and 3 continue to block the Japanese in front!" After that, he stood up first, and a squad of soldiers ran to the right side of the church with him.

Gou Hao saw that someone from the church entered the British position, he was hesitant whether he should go to pick up Dong Limao and Zhu Yongsheng. When he was undecided, Zhang Dali and his people ran over.

"Platform Commander Zhang, the company commander and Lao Zhu and the others are still in the woods!" Gou Hao said loudly to Zhang Dali.

"Instructor Gou, you bring people to guard this place. Don't give this passage to the Japanese. I'll take people to pick them up!" Zhang Dali knew the importance of this passage. If this position was lost, Dong Limao and Zhu Yongsheng would probably never come back. After saying that, he rushed into the woods behind the church with a machine gun squad.

Wang Jiagui and his sniper squad were still ambushed in their respective positions, looking for targets that could be taken, mainly to find the Japanese machine gun firepower points and commanders. Their precise shooting killed many Japanese machine gunmen and several commanders, and gave Zhang Dali and Zhao Yong and others great help. Seeing that the church had retreated to the safe area, Dong Limao and Zhu Yongsheng and others were not seen. Moreover, gunshots and shell explosions came from the woods behind the church. Wang Jiagui knew in his heart that he must have encountered trouble. He had covered up.

Upstairs, I saw Zhang Dali running to the right with a dozen people, and then renounced to the woods. Gou Hao's squad was still guarding him. He knew what he should do at this time. Before Dong Limao and Zhu Yongsheng and others retreated, he had to stay here. He adjusted the scope into the woods and happened to see Zhu Yongsheng pressing Dong Limao to the ground. He was shocked. After the smoke of the shells slowly dissipated, he looked carefully again. Dong Limao hugged Zhu Yongsheng's body and shouted, Wang Jiagui had an ominous premonition.

Dong Limao pressed Zhu Yongsheng heavily behind him. He turned over from below. Seeing that Zhu Yongsheng's mouth and nose were covered with blood, he looked at himself with a smile. He hugged Zhu Yongsheng: "Brother! What's wrong with you! Why are you trying to save me? Didn't I tell you that I can't die!"

Zhu Yongsheng moved his mouth and choked a few mouthfuls of blood from his mouth, and said reluctantly: "Brother Jiacheng... cough cough... I'm my life... cough cough... you picked it up... Now... cough cough... I finally... give it back..." Before he finished speaking, he coughed several mouthfuls of cough and choked, and blood gushed out of his mouth. He kicked his feet, opened his eyes, smiled, and died.

"Brother..." Dong Limao was extremely painful. This was the first good brother who died to protect himself after he traveled through time and became a great-grandfather. During the brief relationship with Zhu Yongsheng these days, he gradually treated him like a eldest brother. It seemed that he was by his side and felt much more at ease. From some of the words he said, Dong Limao could know that Zhu Yongsheng had an extraordinary relationship with his great-grandfather. It turned out that he died in this battle to protect his great-grandfather.
