91: Chapter 91 Your Child Has Been Unfilial
Shu Sheng walked towards the floor below.
Wang Ye hurriedly followed, wanting to see what exactly he was planning to do.
Arriving on the fifth floor, the windows were not completely sealed off.
After all, at this height, it was not easy for the Japanese soldiers' bullets to hit the people inside.
Let alone enter The Warehouse through the windows.
Wang Ye watched as Shu Sheng walked to the window and observed the ground below.
The Japanese soldiers were getting closer and closer to the building.
Although they were holding steel plates, the Japanese soldiers' movement speed was slightly slow, but not by much.
In just a few minutes, these Japanese soldiers, braving the explosions of grenades and concentrated gunfire, had reached a distance of about ten meters from the building.
This distance was already very dangerous.
If the Japanese soldiers were allowed to reach the ground floor of the building and successfully detonate their explosives, this building would likely not be defensible.
At this moment, Wang Ye saw Shu Sheng suddenly turn his head to look at him.
The ominous premonition in his heart became even more pronounced.
He saw that Shu Sheng's eyes were red, and a flash of determination crossed his gaze.
Before Wang Ye could react, he turned around, opened the window, and climbed onto the windowsill.
Then he looked back at Wang Ye, a smile on his face.
"Company Commander, tell my mother that her son has failed her!"
Having said that, he leaped down from the fifth floor.
Seeing this, Wang Ye's eyes were filled with rage and sorrow; he hurriedly ran over.
"Shu Sheng!"
The surrounding Chinese Soldiers were stunned by this scene.
On the opposite side of the International Settlement, the public heard that the battle in the direction of The Warehouse was exceptionally intense.
In a high-rise building within the International Settlement, several people were watching The Warehouse across the way.
From afar, they could see figures moving about inside The Warehouse.
Just at this moment, they heard a loud shout coming from the opposite bank.
"Mother, your son has failed you!"
They saw a figure falling from the fifth floor.
Immediately after, in just a moment, a heaven-shaking explosion rang out.
This explosion was deafening; even from such a great distance, it felt as if one were right in the middle of it.
This showed the power of the explosion.
At this time, on the fifth floor of The Warehouse.
A heaven-shaking explosion rang out, louder than the sound of artillery shells.
The stunned Wang Ye was jolted awake by this sound.
He hurriedly ran to the window, his hand tightly gripping the window frame.
He dared not look down, because he knew that in such an explosion, Shu Sheng, who had tied the bombs to his body, would certainly not have a body left.
Never mind the explosion; even jumping from the fifth floor, death was highly probable.
Inside the livestream room, the viewers were all shocked by this scene.
To stop the Japanese soldiers from detonating the building, he did not hesitate to strap bombs to his body and then leap from the fifth floor.
How much determination must this have required.
"He jumped? Did I see that wrong?"
"You didn't see it wrong. He had bombs tied to his body and jumped down to perish together with the Japanese soldiers."
"Why did he have to jump? Is it worth it? Couldn't he have thrown them down? Why did he have to jump?"
Many viewers in the livestream room could not understand why he had to jump.
Clearly, he could have just thrown the grenades down, so why did he have to jump?
It wasn't just them who couldn't understand.
Even Wang Ye couldn't quite understand it.
He couldn't figure out why Shu Sheng had to jump.
Wang Ye watched as he jumped down right in front of him; the person who was alive just moments ago was now gone.
No body remained.
Wang Ye felt a painful ache in his heart; this sense of powerlessness deeply engulfed his entire being.
He summoned his courage and looked out from the window.
Below, the previous explosion had stained the ground red.
The Japanese soldiers had just arrived at the base of The Warehouse when a person suddenly fell from the sky.
They were momentarily stunned, not expecting that the person had grenades tied to his body.
They had no way to throw the grenades elsewhere.
Just in that moment of hesitation, the explosion killed seven or eight Japanese engineers on the spot.
The remaining dozen or so Japanese soldiers were severely wounded and clearly wouldn't survive.
On this battlefield, no one would go to save them.
The main force of the Japanese army would not risk their soldiers' lives to save these dozen or so severely wounded men.
Since they had stepped onto the battlefield, they had to be prepared for death.
On the battlefield, death was a very common occurrence.
The steel plates that the Japanese soldiers had been carrying were blown to pieces, and the surrounding area was a mess.
Seeing this scene, Wang Ye felt a tightness in his chest.
Shu Sheng's sacrifice had neutralized this attack by the Japanese soldiers.
One man had taken about twenty Japanese soldiers with him.
On the battlefield, it is said that killing one is not a loss, and killing two is a gain.
Now, Shu Sheng had killed twenty.
But the price was his own life, and not even a body remained.
The nearby Chinese Soldiers gradually regained their senses; some of them knew Shu Sheng.
They couldn't believe that Shu Sheng had actually jumped from the window.
They had been right next to him just a moment ago.
If they had known it would turn out like this, they should have been more attentive.
Why did he have to trade his own life for the lives of the Japanese soldiers?
Everyone was born of parents; everyone was a person of flesh and blood.
"Company Commander, are you okay?" Although the Chinese Soldiers were also deeply sorrowful in their hearts.
Seeing Wang Ye's state, they stepped forward to console him.
Shu Sheng and the Company Commander had a good relationship.
No one wanted to see someone they knew die right in front of them.
On the top floor, when the Chinese Soldiers in the company heard that shout of "Mother, your son has failed you," they guessed who it was.
They just didn't understand what had happened; they only heard that shout, followed by a heaven-shaking explosion.
Some Chinese Soldiers poked their heads out to look and saw that the Japanese soldiers who had been continuously approaching The Warehouse were all dead.
Seven or eight minutes passed.
Wang Ye finally returned to the top floor.
At this time, the Japanese soldiers had stopped their attack.
The Chinese Soldiers ran over, looking at Wang Ye, wanting to know what had just happened.
Feeling the gaze of the surrounding Chinese Soldiers, although Wang Ye was filled with grief, he still recounted what had just happened.
After listening to what Wang Ye said, all the Chinese Soldiers fell silent.
"Shu Sheng, he..."
A soldier who was usually very close to Shu Sheng heard that Shu Sheng had jumped from the fifth floor to stop the Japanese soldiers below from detonating the building, and his eyes immediately turned red.
He hated; he hated the Japanese for invading China.
If it weren't for the Japanese, they wouldn't be in a war, and people wouldn't be dying.
He hated; he hated himself for having no ability.
If he had the ability to blow up those Japanese iron turtles, Shu Sheng wouldn't have had to die.
He hated even more; he hated those corrupt officials, traitors, lackeys, and running dogs.
Those people sought pleasure and sold out their country for glory.
They were here fighting with their lives, yet there were traitors clinging to China, sucking its blood.
"What are you crying for? We soldiers can shed blood, but we cannot shed tears."
"Since we have stepped onto the battlefield, we must be prepared to sacrifice ourselves for the country."
At this moment, a resonant voice suddenly came from behind them.
Wang Ye turned around to look; it was Regimental Adjutant Xie Jin.
He looked at everyone, his expression serious.
Just now, he was commanding the battle below when, unexpectedly, there was a loud bang.
It had attracted his attention.
Then he learned that a soldier, to stop the Japanese Suicide Squad from detonating the building, had jumped from the fifth floor with bombs strapped to him.
After hearing the sequence of events, he found it hard to believe.
And upon learning that it was a soldier under Wang Ye's command, he immediately hurried up without stopping.
