Chapter 68: The Happy Defeated Soldiers

In the afternoon, with the end of another wave of Japanese attacks, the entire second line of defense was full of corpses left behind by the Japanese attack, and the corpses were lying on the ground.

Xia Yuan ordered the soldiers to carry down the corpses of their comrades, drag off their glorious strips, and bury the routs on the third line of defense on the ridge of Nantianmen, overlooking the entire Nu River and the entire jungle of Nantianmen.

"The second line of defense is too devastated to hold on, and the soldiers on the second line of defense can no longer hold back the powerful firepower against the Japanese attack."

Xia Yuan could not face the attack of a large number of Japanese troops alone, the Japanese army was different from the American army, they had the will to fight without fear of death and dared to charge, and they were very terrible opponents, so he decided to give up holding on to the second line of defense and use the only remaining ammunition to defend the third line of defense.

And just when Xia Yuan was about to give the order to retreat, there was good news from Nantianmen, Yu Xiaoqing transported a batch of materials across the Nu River through a raft, and transported the materials to Nantianmen, this batch of materials is weapons and ammunition, according to the soldiers who crossed the river together, there will be three more batches of materials to Nantianmen, so that they can wait again.

The rout soldiers looked at each other excitedly, and the joy in their expressions was unconcealable.

"Great, with this batch of weapons and equipment, we finally don't have to worry about the lack of ammunition!" Meng was very happy, "Tell the regiment commander about this matter, the second line of defense is saved!" ”

Veterinarian Hao pulled the soldier and asked, "Is there any medicine, there are a lot of wounded on the battlefield." ”

The soldiers looked at the dirty veterinarian Hao, they looked like a group of routs, but they completed a feat that none of their elite troops could accomplish, they stopped at the Nantianmen, no longer fled from Dian-Burma, formed the Sichuan Army, and became the last force of the expeditionary force on the Sino-Burmese border.

He was in awe of the veteran who was more than half a hundred years old in front of him, it was they who bought time for the Nujiang defense line to consolidate, it was they who resisted the Japanese army for four days, and Nantianmen was still firmly in the hands of our army, it was they who made the Chinese people see hope again.

"Yes, in the next batch of supplies, there are a lot of medicines, all of which were donated by the national army and patriots in China." The soldier said to Veterinarian Hao.

"Patriots? What's that? Kang Ya leaned over and asked.

"It is the people who love the country, they know that you stayed in Nantianmen to fight the Japanese army in order to defend the motherland, and rekindled their determination to resist the Japanese army. The soldier explained to the routs.

At this time, the rout soldiers who came out of the containment station, such as Annoyed, Dead, Dead, Ah Yi, Snake Ass, Bean Cake, Yao Ma, etc., all leaned over, and they listened to the soldier explain to them blankly.

Kang Ya asked: "You mean, we are fighting, and anyone knows?" ”

The soldier looked excited: "That's not it, you don't know, you guys are all in the newspaper to fight against the Japanese army on the Nantianmen!" Wait, our company commander got us a copy, and I remember wearing it. ”

He took out a newspaper from his heavy clothes and excitedly handed it to everyone.

Kang Ya took the newspaper and looked at the words that she knew but didn't know: ".God. door."

Yao Ma pushed Kang Ya, grabbed the newspaper and handed it to Meng Fu: "Go and go, I don't know a single big character, you know a fool, I'm annoying, read it to us." ”

Meng glanced at the contents of the newspaper in annoyance, and his eyes froze.

Bu Spicy said: "Hurry up." ”

Meng was annoyed and read: "The last army of the expeditionary force, stationed at Nantianmen, resisting the Japanese invaders, raising the prestige of our country, and shaking our China, they used their young lives to build a great wall to stand on Nantianmen, protecting the thousands of people in the land of China, they are rare heroes." ”

The defeated soldiers were silent, they quietly listened to Meng Anyi reading the contents of the newspaper, it turned out that the matter of their garrison in Nantianmen had been in the newspaper, it turned out that the battle they were not optimistic about would be like this in the hearts of the people, it turned out that they were great heroes in the hearts of the people.

Dou Cake grabbed it and said, "Brother Ma, we are heroes, we are heroes." ”

To Ma said: "Yes, we are heroes, I didn't expect Lao Tzu to become a hero one day." ”

To be numb smiled very happily, with a trace of tears in his eyes, not only to be numb, everyone had tears in their eyes, Meng was annoyed with mist, and his voice became louder and louder, and he became more and more sonorous.

"When the expeditionary force was defeated and the Japanese army pursued the victory, they gave up the retreat and stayed on the other side of the Nu River, becoming the last line of defense of the Chanda people, they resisted the Japanese army, bought time for the Nu River defense line to be consolidated, and they fought against the Japanese invaders on the Nantianmen, which was the last battlefield of the expeditionary force."

"Garrison Nantian to fight against the Japanese invaders. Raise the prestige of our country and shake our China. ”

Meng's annoyed words were like a hammer slammed into the hearts of the defeated soldiers, hitting their hearts heavily, they were excited, they were happy, they howled loudly, they burst into tears, they never thought that one day they would fight with the Japanese devils, and they would be in the newspapers, let alone that one day they would be called heroes.

At this moment, the whole body of the defeated soldiers seemed to be full of strength, and the appearance of this newspaper also strengthened their determination to resist the Japanese invaders, and also strengthened their determination to stay on the Nantianmen and fight the Japanese army to the moment of victory.

The soldier looked at them and said with a smile: "You guys, now you are heroes, you don't know, many soldiers in Chandari who have been defeated from Dianmen, after hearing your deeds, want to return to Nantianmen and fight against the Japanese army, by the way, how many troops are attacking Nantianmen this time?" ”

Bu Spicy said to the soldier: "Five thousand small Toyo, a brigade, have not been beaten down for four days, hahahaha!" ”

"A brigade of Japanese devils!" The soldier had a shocked look on his face.

"That's not, we're seven hundred, the little devil just can't hit it, their artillery position was blown up by us, we can only use infantry to rush, hey, it just can't rush up, we are guarding the Nantianmen, and we will definitely not let the little devil come up." To Ma also said.

The soldier responsible for transporting supplies was shocked, 700 people, not even the size of a regiment, at most two battalions of troops, held the Nantianmen for several days, withstood the attack of a brigade of the Japanese army, this is estimated that no one will believe that since the War of Resistance Against Japan, few units of the national army can win more battles with less, especially an army like them composed of stragglers, lack of weapons and equipment, and uneven combat quality, how can they withstand the attack of a brigade of the Japanese army, who will believe it. No one will believe it.

He was shocked more than that, "Your regiment commander took a ten-man assault team through the defense line of 5,000 Japanese troops, and also blew up the artillery positions of the Japanese devils?" ”

The snake butt said: "That's not it, our regiment commander is very powerful, not to mention 5,000 people, even if there are 5,000 people, our regiment commander dares to take us through the Japanese defense line to blow up the artillery position of the little Japanese devils." ”

The soldiers were shocked and didn't know how to describe it, since the outbreak of the Battle of Nantianmen, there has been no information about the confrontation between the two sides from the Nantaimen, some people say that the attacking Japanese troops are at most a wing, not more, a wing of the Japanese army is already very fierce, when the Japanese army in Dianji and Burma pursued the expeditionary force and the British army, a wing pulled out a brigade battle line, so, whether it is Yu Xiaoqing or Shangfeng, the Japanese army that attacked Nantianmen is estimated to be about 1,000 people.

But I didn't expect that the Japanese army was far more than a thousand, but five thousand, the size of a whole brigade.

The soldier looked at the group of routs in front of him in shock, he couldn't imagine how the seven hundred people held the Nantian Gate and fought against the 5,000 Japanese army to ensure that the Nantian Gate would not be lost, he couldn't imagine it, it was really unbelievable to say it.

"Then your casualties must be heavy, right?" The soldier asked again.

The routs opened their mouths and fell silent, and the soldiers said: "5,000 Japanese troops, a brigade of Japanese attack, if you want to withstand the attack of 5,000 Japanese troops, it is to sacrifice a lot of people, you did not retreat in the face of the attack of 5,000 Japanese troops, and even passed through the Japanese defense line and blew up the Japanese artillery positions, you are heroes, you are great heroes." ”

The soldiers admired them and admired their bravery, these people were completely desperate to fight the Japanese army.

Meng was annoyed to think about the number of soldiers on the third line of defense, the soldiers on the first line of defense had retreated to the third line of defense, there were still nearly four hundred people on the third line of defense, and there were only two squads left on the second line of defense, or even less than two squads, and this was just the situation on the second day of the battle, they had already suffered three hundred casualties.

Of course, the casualties of the Japanese army were several times that of theirs, especially in today's attack, the Japanese army gathered a thousand people to attack Nantianmen, and was repulsed several times by the soldiers on the second line of defense, I don't know how many Japanese soldiers were killed, but the second line of defense was full of corpses.

The soldier went back, with this news that shocked the inside of the national army.

On the Nantianmen, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and on the third line of defense, the troops were urgently assembled, Xia Yuan led Long Wenwen and Meng to be annoyed, and took the newspaper that reported on the battle in Nantianmen, read out the contents of the newspaper, and after listening to the content of the newspaper, when the excitement passed, no one was excited, everyone had tears on their faces, and there were tears.

Xia Yuan put away the newspaper, looked at them, and said in a heavy voice: "The appearance of this newspaper proves what we have done today, it proves that the soldiers who sacrificed on the first line of defense and the second line of defense, it proves that we stay on the Nantianmen, and it proves that we haven't lost yet!" Everything we do is worth it! Their sacrifice was worth it! Our decision to stay on the South Heavenly Gate was the right one! ”

"The people behind us have not forgotten us! Our family hasn't forgotten us! They're watching us! Watch us fight against the Japanese invaders! Watch us defend our homeland! ”

"Life is a hero, death is also a ghost! None of you are willing to stay, none of them are bad seeds, none of them are losers, what we do is seen by them, what they call us, call us heroes, now, who dares to look down on us! Those elites? It's not bullshit, it's being chased by the Japanese devils, let's let them see today, how an army that is not even a motley card, an army that doesn't even have its own structure, and is not even complete, can withstand the attack of the Japanese army of 5,000 people! ”

"None of us are a bad seed! No one is a loser! ”

The fighting spirit in the hearts of the remaining soldiers of the Sichuan Army was stimulated by Xia Yuan, and the people they protected were watching them, watching this battle, they became the heroes of this era, and became the heroes in the hearts of the people.

They are no longer a bad breed, they are no longer looked down upon, they have become heroes, which is enough for them to die without regrets.

The Japanese army's ferocious attack was far from over, but the Sichuan Army with this batch of supplies no longer needed to worry about the supplies, Xia Yuan decided to take the Japanese army by surprise, he replaced all the wounded on the second line of defense, and equipped all the soldiers on the second line of defense with submachine guns for rear support, and equipped three Type 92 and four Czech style to guard the second line of defense.

In the rear of the Japanese army, the captain of the wing was engaged in a heated discussion, and the Japanese army, who had experienced the previous attack, found that the combat effectiveness of the defenders on the second line of defense was already very weak, and even when some Japanese troops rushed to the second line of defense, the enemy even fought with their soldiers with bayonets, which meant that the other side was about to be unable to hold on.

"Yaxi, this is good news, the enemy can't hold out anymore,"

At this time, a news from within the national army was transmitted that the Japanese army attacking Nantianmen had the size of a brigade and 5,000 people. However, the defenders of Nantianmen were only 700 routed soldiers, and in the absence of weapons and ammunition, heavy firepower, and various materials, they withstood the attack of the Japanese army for many days and blew up the Japanese artillery positions, so that the Japanese army could not reinforce the Japanese troops attacking Nantianmen in a short period of time.

As soon as this news came out, the national army shook up and down.

Yu Xiaoqing said with a shocked face: "Seven hundred people against five thousand people, seven hundred people against five thousand people!" Who can do it today, who can do it! ”

He was shocked not only that 700 people withstood the attack of 5,000 Japanese troops, but he was shocked by Xia Yuan's command ability and unique strategy, and he was shocked by Xia Yuan's boldness, as a regimental seat, he only led a ten-person commando, passed through the blockade area of 5,000 Japanese troops, successfully blew up the Japanese artillery position and retreated, he was shocked that when Shangfeng had no will to fight, Xia Yuan resolutely led a team of 700 people to stay on the Nantianmen despite risking a military court. He was shocked that Xia Yuan still did not give up when the expeditionary force was gone, and even did it.

Yu Xiaoqing was ashamed of herself.
