Chapter 37: I'll Take You Home
"Damn it!"
"A bunch of soldiers!"
Yu Xiaoqing's spurs slammed into the sandbag in front of him.
The faces of Zhang Lixian, He Shuguang and other cronies also showed undisguised murderous intentions.
Yu Xiaoqing is a typical old-thinking soldier, who pursues the ruthless style of "soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty" and "soldiers should die on the battlefield".
In the eyes of people like Yu Xiaoqing, soldiers are never fresh lives.
It's just a series of machines, killing machines, or numbers, numbers used for statistics, how many people have been lost in a certain battle, how many enemies have been killed, and that's it.
So from the beginning, he didn't plan to let the cannon fodder on the west bank of the Nu River come back alive.
From this point of view, the former commander of the special service battalion who was shot by him before was really wronged.
Because even if the special battalion commander does not order the bridge to be blown up, Yu Xiaoqing will blow up the bridge.
However, the special battalion commander blew up Xingtiandu without asking for instructions, which gave Yu Xiaoqing a chance to play on the topic.
Yu Xiaoqing had just been promoted to division commander, and several regiment commanders and deputy regiment commanders such as Hai Zhengchong and Yu Dazhi were not convinced by him, so they just used the head of the special battalion commander to establish his authority.
By the way, he can also put his close confidant Zhang Lixian in the position of the commander of the spy battalion, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone.
However, in addition to killing people and helping Zhang Lixian to get on the horse, what Yu Xiaoqing wanted to do most was to cut off the retreat of cannon fodder and force them to fight to the death against the Japanese army in Nantianmen.
Until just now, everything was perfectly staged according to the script designed by Yu Xiaoqing.
The Long article who falsely claimed to be the deputy of the Sichuan Legion was really good, he really encouraged the cannon fodder who was on the verge of collapse, and easily recaptured Nantianmen with a counterattack.
And he also guarded the South Heavenly Gate for a whole night.
Although I don't know what the results were, it is an indisputable fact that the cannon fodder held Nantianmen all night, and Yu Shi also had one more night to consolidate the river defense.
At this time, although the defense of the Nujiang River did not dare to say that it was impregnable, Yu Xiaoqing had enough confidence to defeat the Japanese army.
But even so, Yu Xiaoqing still does not plan to let the cannon fodder on the other side of the river cross the Nu River, the reason is very simple, Yu Shi fled all the way back from Burma, and his morale has fallen to the bottom.
At this time, a "battle to the death" is urgently needed to boost the morale of the army.
These cannon fodder on the west bank of the Nu River are undoubtedly the best bargaining chips!
As long as these cannon fodder on the west bank of the Nu River fight to the end and all the members are martyred, he Yu Xiaoqing can use this to make an article full of flowers and flowers, and re-inspire the fighting spirit of the whole Yu Division, and even the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the entire Western Yunnan Expeditionary Force, and this is Yu Xiaoqing's real intention.
Therefore, seeing Lin Yi playing the banner of "temporarily avoiding", Yu Xiaoqing's lungs exploded.
This is not only because his Yu Xiaoqing's intentions have completely failed, but also because it is incompatible with the military style he pursues, the soldiers should fight to the death, how can they retreat without military orders?
At this moment, Yu Xiaoqing really made a killing move.
β¦β¦
On the South Heaven Gate.
Long Wen and the cannon fodder keenly felt the "anger" on the other side.
Long Wenwen no longer bowed, looked back at Wang Yan in some astonishment, and asked, "Camp Chief Lin, what did you just say?" β
Wang Yan said lightly: "The meaning of the master's seat, we know everything, the defense of the Nujiang River is solid, then our task has been completed, we don't have to defend the Nantianmen anymore, and we should turn in time to preserve the living force." β
When Long Wenwen heard this, he was immediately stunned, this ...... Caught off guard, huh?
"Are you crazy?" Meng was annoyed and shouted out of faux pas, "Are you trying to kill everyone?" Are you going to make it and kill everyone? You're crazy! β
In the end, the remaining more than 100 cannon fodder gathered one after another.
However, most of the cannon fodder do not yet know what is happening.
"I'm not crazy." Wang Yan's gaze swept over the faces of the cannon fodder, and then said, "I didn't do this to kill everyone, but just to take you across the Nu River and bring you back to Chanda!" β
"Crossing the Nu River? Back to Zenda? Meng was so annoyed that his lungs were about to explode, "What are you talking about?" β
"Without the cover of the firepower of the main force of the division on the east bank of the Nu River, the Japanese army will soon chase to the river, and by that time we will become a live target on the river!"
"With Little Japan's marksmanship, none of us should think about the Nu River!"
"What's more, without Master Yu's answer, we didn't even have a bamboo raft to cross the river!"
"Did you offend Yu Xiaoqing, did you block the big guy's way of life?"
"If you don't offend Yu Xiaoqing, you will have a way to live?" Wang Yan said coldly, "Do you really think Yu Xiaoqing will let us cross the river?" Don't be naΓ―ve, he can't wait for us all to die in Nantianmen, the more tragic the fight, the better, in his eyes, we are not people, just tools, just numbers, cold numbers! β
After a pause, Wang Yan said again: "What's more, even if there is no artillery support from Master Yu? What if you offend Yu Xiaoqing? What if there is no bamboo raft to cross the river? β
"We can get rid of the Japanese pursuit and cross the Nu River the same!"
"What you said is light, how to cross the Nu River? Did you swim over? Meng was annoyed and let go, and no longer cared about Lin Yi's battalion commander Guanwei, and said angrily, "You can't build this is the Nu River, and you can sink the Nu River at the bottom of the river if you lose a goose feather!" β
"I know it's the Nu River." Wang Yan said, "But I still want to say that we can cross the Nu River just as well!" β
As he was talking, the mourning star, who was in charge of the lookout ahead, suddenly shouted: "The little devil is coming up again!" β
"All of them, enter the forest, and retreat south along the west bank of the Nu River from the forest!" After Wang Yan finished speaking, he set up the dragon article that had been stunned in place and went straight into the jungle.
There are no roads in the jungle, but you can get through them.
The jungle also has the advantage of providing excellent cover for cannon fodder.
Not long after Wang Yan withdrew into the jungle with the last remaining hundred or so cannon fodder, at least two squadrons of Japanese infantry rushed to Nantianmen with great momentum.
After discovering that the position of the national army on the Nantianmen was empty, the Japanese army immediately divided into two routes, and a squadron went straight to the ferry along the main road, seeing that the posture was to prepare to seize the ferry and then cross the river.
The other squadron pursued into the jungle, persistently chasing the fleeing cannon fodder.
A moment later, sporadic gunshots rang out in the dense forest on the south side of Nantianmen.
Vaguely accompanied by screams, I don't know if it was cannon fodder or the Japanese army.
The Japanese troops who pursued to the ferry were greeted by heavy machine-gun fire and artillery fire on the west bank of the Nu River.
When Long Wen prayed just now, Yu Xiaoqing was reluctant to fire a single shell, but now he was not stingy at all, and hit a full base in one go.
But the results were limited.
The Japanese left only a few bodies at the crossing.
