The attacking Japanese devils often rushed towards Xia Yuan in seven or eight, they understood that Xia Yuan was very powerful with bayonets, and there would always be two or three Japanese soldiers who would fight Xia Yuan's bayonets, wanting to use their bodies to attract Xia Yuan's bayonets and give the Japanese devils next to them an opportunity to kill Xia Yuan.

But Xia Yuan was always able to deal with the rushing Japanese army with a cool head, and in such a situation, the physical and mental consumption was undoubtedly huge.

He looked down at his palm, his fingers were trembling slightly, around him, lying the corpses of Japanese devils, who were responsible for recording the actual battlefield, Ah Yi, who was responsible for recording the actual battlefield, witnessed Xia Yuan's strength, witnessed the process of Xia Yuan fighting bayonets with many Japanese soldiers, and he recorded the combat deeds of this heroic regiment commander in a book of fifteen and ten.

Even after Ah Yi was old, this scene was still deeply imprinted in his heart as if it were an imprint.

"I have never seen anyone as strong as him, it is hard to imagine that this is a person seen in the ranks of the national army, even if I witnessed the entire Liberation War and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, I have never been able to find a person comparable to him, his strength is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, is deeply imprinted on us, deep in our souls, he is a rare anti-Japanese general, but also the indelible legend in our hearts!"

The figure stood in the dusk, the figure was stretched long on the ground, and the shadow fell crookedly on the corpse behind him, in Ah Yi's eyes, he seemed to have crawled out of the sea of blood in the mountain of corpses.

One person held a position, and the people around him were already dead.

Meng limped over and looked at the expressionless side face, "Commander, are you okay?" ”

Xia Yuan came back to his senses, looked at the bayonet that had been curled in his hand, the empty magazine, and the handle of the gun covered with blood, casually threw the gun aside, picked up the weapon that he didn't know if it was dropped by his own people or the Japanese devils, and shouted: "Clean up the battlefield." ”

Not far away, Li Ula and Mi Long stood together, the two of them squinted into the distance, Mi Long said: "Fighting with him, it feels different, if he can go down from South Tiananmen Square alive, he will definitely be able to drive away the Japanese devils in the future." ”

Liula didn't say anything, just stared blankly at the figure.

The dragon was provoking Liula again, "You can't even get to his toes." After saying that, he left without looking back.

The soldiers on the third line of defense witnessed this extremely tragic scene on the second line of defense, people's hearts are long, and no matter how cold their hearts are, they can't see this blocking battle from beginning to end, especially when they see the picture of the robes and Japanese devils fighting on the second line of defense, they went forward one after another, and rushed forward after the fall, and pushed the Japanese army on the second line of defense.

The soldiers on the third line of defense had tears in their eyes one by one, and they asked Long Wen to fight, wanting to support the second line of defense.

Long Wenwen looked expressionlessly at the soldiers of the Sichuan Army who were fighting on the second line of defense in the distance: "No one is allowed to go without the order of the regiment commander!" All of them showed me, watching how they fought with the Japanese devils in order to protect our country, none of them were of a bad breed, they were men who stood up to the sky, and they were real anti-Japanese heroes! ”

They stood on the third line of defense like this, watching the soldiers on the second line of defense fighting with the Japanese devils, and the fallen Sichuan Army soldiers one by one made their hearts tingle incomparably, looking ahead with tears in their eyes, at this moment, everyone had a fire in their hearts.

A group of routs from the containment station, such as Bu Spicy and Yao Ma, looked at it angrily, and they found Long Wenwen and asked loudly:

"Why don't you go for reinforcements! Why! Why, exactly! I'll go to the head of the regiment, where is the head of the regiment! ”

Long Wenwen didn't speak, just stretched out a finger from afar, pointing to the second line of defense halfway up the mountainside, the defeated soldiers turned their heads to look at the soldiers on the second line of defense who were still fighting with the Japanese army in the distance, at this moment, they had no sound, watched quietly, watching those former brothers in the robe fall one by one, they held guns, with bayonet guns and rushed towards the Japanese devils, their figures were so strong, they were so majestic.

Long Wenwen shouted loudly again: "How can you say that you have no clothes, and you are in the same robe with your son." ”

At this moment, they understood that the sentence of the dragon article sounded, often on the lips, and it was very literal. The cold heart in my heart seemed to ignite a flame and burn.

After the battle, they sat silently in the trenches, always lively and not spicy and no longer active, the unusually tragic battle in the afternoon made their hearts that had gradually become cold again, and their hearts were blocked, as if they were holding a mass of things.

Meng limped and asked Xia Yuan, "Why don't you let us go for reinforcements?" Why do we want to watch them die with the Japanese devils, is it just for the sake of the souls you are talking about? For the sake of the said soul, let so many people sacrifice! Why! ”

Xia Yuan silently picked up weapons and ammunition on the position, put them in his arms, Meng was annoyed and stood in front of Xia Yuan for a while, looking at Xia Yuan: "Why!" ”

Xia Yuan said, "You don't understand. ”

Meng was annoyed and said: "Little master, I have grown up since I was a child, there is nothing I don't understand, you are right, I don't understand, I don't understand the soul in your mouth, if I were you, I wouldn't let so many people sacrifice for the soul you said." ”

Xia Yuan looked at the people who were standing on the trench again, they watched quietly, and the defeated soldiers on the third line of defense, they also watched quietly, but everyone's hearts were uncomfortable, their beloved regiment commander, but because of one of his orders, there was only one platoon left of the soldiers of the two companies on the second line of defense, a platoon with an incomplete formation, and a platoon composed of light and serious wounded.

The soldiers of the two companies on the second line of defense were basically exhausted, and they were all dead, and they were all desperate with the Japanese devils.

If the regimental commander had given the order to attack at that time, they would have been able to reinforce the fighters on the second line of defense to relieve their pressure and charge this Japanese force down, but their regimental commander did not give such an order, but allowed the fighters on the second line of defense to hold their positions and the fighters on the third line of defense to hold the third line of defense.

There was confusion in their eyes, a blank in their eyes.

Xia Yuan picked up the bullets half-hidden in the dirt on the ground, picked them up and wiped them gently, put them in the bullet bag, faced Meng Fu, met the eyes of a group of routed soldiers, and said: "Since the construction of each line of defense, it has shouldered different tasks and missions, the first line of defense is used to slow down the pace of the Japanese attack, and at the same time collect enough weapons and ammunition, the first line of defense is also facing the Japanese army with complete formation and artillery fire, and any team sent to garrison the first line of defense will pay a heavy price for casualties, and the palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, Who can decide whether they live or die! ”

"The mission of the second line of defense is the most demanding, they are responsible for the great destruction of the Japanese army, and they are responsible for the great destruction of the Japanese army, delaying the Japanese offensive time in order to destroy the Japanese army to the greatest extent. Why don't you go to support, the Japanese army is not clear about the deployment of our Nantianmen, they are greatly hindered in the second line of defense, they will mistakenly think that the second line of defense is an important line of defense in Nantianmen, so the defenders on the second line of defense will hold their positions to the death, but they can't think that our real line of defense is the third line of defense, and they won't think that we still have a third line of defense on the Nantianmen, they are about to win, and they are full of confidence to be hit by you on the third line of defense, The Japanese army will retreat without a fight. ”

"The third line of defense is the foundation of the entire Nantianmen defense line and our hole card, I must ensure the integrity of the defenders on the third line of defense, the sufficiency of weapons and ammunition, why are light and heavy machine guns not used on the second line of defense, used in advance, who will fight the third line of defense."

"One blow, then decline, three and exhaustion. Three lines of defense, three different missions, your reinforcements can indeed help relieve the pressure on the soldiers on the second line of defense, but the Japanese will know that we still have troops stockpiled on the ridge, and the Japanese will reassess their attack and regroup their forces. ”

Xia Yuan thought more clearly than anyone else, he came all the way from the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and liked to take a long-term view, the three lines of defense were facing Cao Di's polemic's 'one drum, then decline, three and exhaustion', a brigade of 5,000 Japanese troops, even if there was no artillery position, just relying on the number of people, one person and one mouthful of foam, they could be drowned.

His voice turned cold: "Even if they die, you can only watch them die!" This is an order, and for a soldier, an order is heaven! And for me, any sympathetic reinforcement will lead to the defeat of this campaign! ”

"It's good that the Japanese army doesn't reinforce Nantianmen, once they reinforce, we will face an attack by a large Japanese army!"

The second line of defense is destined to be defeated under the attack of the Japanese army the next day, if it can hold out for a longer time, it will be better, it will not last that long, it doesn't matter, the third line of defense will eventually withstand the attack of the Japanese army until the Japanese army is exhausted, and at that time, the Japanese army wants to support the Japanese army attacking on the Nantianmen, they have to consider whether it is of strategic significance to capture the Nantianmen.

Any senseless attack is undesirable.

In that way, the sacrifices of the soldiers on the second line of defense will be worth it, and their sacrifices are not unprovoked sacrifices, but valuable sacrifices.

The sky was gray, the sun was setting, and a small group of Japanese troops attacked again in the second direction under dusk, and the fierce battle lasted for a whole day, and on this day, the latest battle of Nantianmen published in the newspapers was printed and distributed in major cities.

"Xia Yuan, the commander of the Shangchuan Corps of Nantianmen, led a ten-man commando team, under the cover of night, through the rear of the Japanese army's tight defense, broke through the Japanese artillery position, and blew up the Japanese artillery position last night and early in the morning, the dull explosion sound like thunder lasted for more than half an hour, and the sound of the explosion alarmed the defense troops along the Nu River, and at the same time alarmed us."

"The Sichuan Legion is doing well!"

"The eleven-man commando team successfully blew up the Japanese army, the anti-Japanese general Xia Yuan!"

In the afternoon, when the soldiers on the second line of defense on the Nantianmen fought with the Japanese devils, the newspaper began to be printed, and it was published in the evening, and the next day began to brew, and people learned about it through word of mouth, gathering people to chat, or storytellers.

Some people praised the Sichuan Army for its bravery and fearlessness, and it was the last line of defense of the expeditionary force. Some people also believe that some of the news was fabricated by the Nationalist Government in order to beautify the Nationalist Army. Some people also think that the number of Japanese troops attacking Nantianmen was small, which gave the ten-man team an opportunity.

In short, there are different opinions, but it is not hidden in the slightest that the Battle of Nantianmen has begun to brew and ferment in the country, and one day, public opinion will explode.

And this requires a fuse.

The national army had already known everything that happened last night through Yu Xiaoqing, and Xia Yuan, the commander of the Sichuan Army, led a ten-person assault team to go deep into the rear of the Japanese army and sneak attack the Japanese artillery position, the explosion lasted for more than half an hour, and the deafening sound was like thunder, endless.

In the newspaper, not long after the incident was brewing, the commendation from the national army was distributed to the other side of the Nu River, and at the same time the whole country publicized this commendation, and the national army also knew that since the Burma War, the 100,000-strong army was defeated and left the Burma, and the national army held its own opinions and could not be unified, some people were afraid of war, some people loved war, and some people remained neutral, so that the internal chaos was unbearable.

The situation at home was even colder, most of the territory in the country was occupied by the Japanese army, the expeditionary force was defeated and Burma, and the anti-Japanese sentiment was extremely cold, and in such a situation, they urgently needed a victory to ignite the gradually cooling anti-Japanese sentiment.

Therefore, the national army also intends to use this opportunity to restore the anti-Japanese sentiment of the people on the one hand, and beautify the national army on the other hand.

And Xia Yuan they are more benefited, with the issuance of Shangfeng's commendation order, in addition to the materials donated by domestic patriots and the people of Chanda, there are also a batch of materials approved by Shangfeng, but after this batch of materials is interlocked, there is not much left under Yu Xiaoqing, and although Yu Xiaoqing is not a famous general, but the bad people also have arrogance, and they are full of admiration for Xia Yuan's adherence to the South Tianmen, so this batch of materials was placed in the materials donated by domestic patriots.

At this time, it was the fourth day that the Sichuan Army held the Nantianmen, the Japanese army did not give up the attack on the Nantianmen, after a night of preparation, the Japanese army again organized a large number of Japanese devils to launch a fierce attack on the Nantianmen in the early morning, the only remaining artillery of the Japanese army fired at the halfway mountainside of the Nantaimen, the roar was deafening, echoing in the valley.

Fierce battles began again.

Yu Xiaoqing observed with a telescope, "The Sichuan Army has been fighting fiercely with the Japanese army for two days, and it is still unknown how many Japanese attacks they are facing. ”

Yu Xiaoqing was confident, and his heart was ready to move, especially after seeing Shangfeng's commendation order for the Sichuan Army, since even the Sichuan Army could withstand the Japanese army's attack for two days, then his Yu regiment could naturally withstand the Japanese army's attack for two days.
