Li Bing, He Shuguang, Zhang Lixian, Yu Zhi and others behind Yu Xiaoqing were full of great admiration for Xia Yuan, and they followed Yu Xiaoqing, just because Yu Xiaoqing was one of the few commanders who dared to argue with the Japanese army, and the other commanders were busy fighting and constricting their finances, and only Yu Xiaoqing personally led people to sit on the front line.

But Xia Yuan did what Yu Xiaoqing always wanted to do, but did not dare to do, and led an army that had been defeated from Dianji to garrison Nantianmen to fight against the Japanese army.

They looked at Nantianmen from a distance across the Nu River, listening to the sound of guns and cannons coming from Nantianmen, the confrontation between the Japanese army and the Sichuan Army was not over, and with the support of a batch of weapons, the situation of the Sichuan Army would be greatly improved.

Yu Xiaoqing asked Zhang Lixian: "Is the artillery in place?" ”

Zhang Lixian said: "It's already in place!" ”

Yu Xiaoqing said: "You order Xu Xiao of the artillery battalion to take two artillery soldiers to the Nantianmen to observe the terrain and observe the defense line of the Sichuan Army!" ”

Zhang Lixian was stunned for a moment and said, "The meaning of the group seat is"

Yu Xiaoqing stood with his hands in his hands, "I respect Xia Yuan as a man, he did what I always wanted to do but couldn't do, he is a rare talent, general, if he can withdraw from the Nantianmen, I will have a drink with him, send someone to tell him, my artillery has lent him and needs artillery support, and I will raise the flag to the artillery on the top of the mountain on the opposite bank, although I Yu Xiaoqing and the soldiers of the Yu Regiment cannot go out to fight in Nantianmen, but the artillery can, and tell Xia Yuan that he must come back alive." ”

Yu Xiaoqing admired Xia Yuan, admired his strategy, vision, and courage, he put himself in Xia Yuan's position, leading seven hundred routs, not to mention garrisoning Nantianmen, blowing up the Japanese artillery position, just seeing the crazy retreat along the way, the troops that had already run away and could not form an army, the battle in his heart had been consumed a few points, and then he heard the Japanese bombardment, and he had consumed a few points.

Not to mention taking 700 people to block the Japanese army on the Nantianmen, Yu Xiaoqing secretly thought, if it were himself, it is estimated that he would have crossed the Nu River with 700 people a long time ago, how could he stay on the Nantianmen and fight with the 5,000 Japanese army, and take a ten-person commando team to cross the Japanese defense line and blow up the Japanese artillery position, thinking about all this, it is impossible.

He looked at the Nantianmen in the distance, the smoke of gunpowder showed that the battle on the Nantianmen was fierce, after the Japanese artillery position was destroyed, it was rare to hear the large-scale shelling of the Japanese army, which showed that Xia Yuan's decision was correct, Yu Xiaoqing admired Xia Yuan in his heart.

On the other side, the defeated soldiers on the Nantianmen deduced by the Japanese army have been unable to form a strong combat force to block them, because although the previous attack caused them to pay huge casualties, the soldiers also successfully broke through the second line of defense held by the enemy, although they were repulsed, but the routed troops on the Nantianmen have been unable to organize a strong combat effectiveness has become a fact, breaking through the second line of defense can directly threaten the defenders on the Nantianmen, and even they can establish a trench on the mountainside of the Nantianmen, Engage in a confrontation with the defenders of the Nationalist Army on the Nantian Gate.

Therefore, in the first wave of attack in the afternoon, they organized an offensive force of 500 people to launch a fierce attack on the position on the upper half of the mountain at Nantianmen.

The wing commander in the rear used the telescope to observe the position on the mountainside, and it was difficult to see the traces of the position activities of the people in the middle of the mountainside, so they put down the binoculars and thought that they had won the operation in their hands, and it was basically a foregone conclusion to take the position on the mountainside, and then to take the Nantianmen!

The attacking Japanese army also received a message from the wing commander, and during the attack, the wing captain told them that the Shina people on the Nantian Gate could no longer hold on, and it was inevitable to take the Shina people.

The attacking Japanese troops ran faster than the other, they quickly approached the position, and the position of the position was getting closer and closer, but as everyone knows, under the cover of the position where they thought they had won the victory, a company of soldiers was quietly waiting for their arrival.

The soldiers on the forward position carried a large number of grenades, which were all supplies supported from the rear, and the appearance of these materials gave Xia Yuan the confidence to hold the second line of defense.

When the Japanese army approached the forward position for more than ten meters, the heavy machine gun controlled by Xia Yuan spewed out angry tongues of fire, and the bullets whizzed through the position, and the Japanese soldiers in the front row who were running fast were caught off guard by rows of bullets, and fell straight to the ground, and a cloud of blood mist exploded on them.

Immediately after, the soldiers on the forward position pulled the grenade away and threw it hard at the battle formation formed by the Japanese devils, the grenades fell to the ground, rolling up a large amount of soil, and the broken shrapnel splashed everywhere, and the grenades fell like raindrops under the tactical formation of the Japanese devils.

In an instant, the guns rang out in unison, and a company equipped with advanced weapons and equipment seemed to turn into boundless anger at this moment, forming a rain of bullets and bullets to vent towards the Japanese attacking troops.

The powerful heavy firepower that caught them off guard directly stunned this group of routers, the Japanese devils fell one by one, and there were cries of Japanese wounded soldiers everywhere, and they were killed by the grenades thrown by the people in their mouths before they had time to cry too much.

The heavy machine gun controlled by Xia Yuan suppressed the attacking Japanese army, so that they couldn't raise their heads, and they were also in full swing to be numb, not spicy, snake ass, Kangya, and Li Wula, and they were also in full swing, and there were a lot of materials for rear support, there were dozens of boxes of grenades alone, and they each carried a box of grenades, and threw them at the enemy one after another.

The attacking force of 500 men understood the gap between the two sides after a short battle with the routers on the second line of defense, and they left a large number of corpses of their own men on the position, and retreated down the hill, not understanding how the people of China, whose fire had weakened, could once again organize such a powerful fire suppression.

The three wing commanders looked at the Emperor's soldiers who had been defeated from their positions, and they could not accept the reality of defeat, and organized an attack for two days in a row, with 800 casualties, and even the enemy's second line of defense was besieged and torn apart.

"We lack the heavy firepower to tear through the enemy's lines, and the Chinese are assisted by the Americans and the British, who are more advanced in armament than ours!" I ask the brigade commander to mobilize artillery support, otherwise we will pay even more casualties to attack Nantianmen! ”

The attack on the halfway point of the Nantianmen had already caused their company to suffer heavy losses, and now they didn't even have exact information about the defenders on the Nantianmen, and it was unknown what the strength of the defenders on the Nantianmen was.

The brigade commander said: "I have already requested the support of the air force, and the next day, I will cooperate with the air force to launch a general attack on the people of China on the Nantian Gate!" ”

"Yes!"

On the second line of defense, the new round of Japanese attacks was easily repulsed, and with a long-lost smile on everyone's face, Mi Long touched the heavy machine gun he controlled, and said: "It's good to have bullets, feed it, and the little Japanese devils who hit it screamed!" ”

Milong is happy, he has never killed the Japanese devils so happily, light and heavy machine guns, submachine guns, shoot together, the gunfire shakes the valley, the bullets form a rain curtain to vent to the enemy, the Japanese devils can't rush up at all, and the Japanese devils have no artillery to bombard the defenders on the position, often small-scale shelling, these survivors are veterans on the battlefield, and they are naturally handy to deal with this small-scale shelling, and they are not panicked at all.

As a result, their casualties were much smaller.

There was no infantry and artillery coordination, and the terrain of Nantianmen made it impossible for the Japanese tanks to come up, so that the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army was greatly reduced, and only relying on the infantry to tear apart the defense line of Nantaimen had to suffer huge casualties.

Even if the Japanese did tear through the defense line of Nantianmen, the Japanese troops would no longer be able to launch a large-scale attack on the defenders on the other side of the Nu River because of their heavy losses.

Then, the strategic intent of the Nantianmen Blocking Battle was already very clear.

Xia Yuan will not take the defeated soldiers to fight meaningless battles, the battle of Nantianmen is of great significance, and it is also in the case of his repeated thinking, he gave up fighting guerrilla warfare on the battlefield of Dianmen, and stayed in Nantianmen, choosing to confront the Japanese army head-on, this is his real sense of leading the team to fight with the Japanese devils, for the cruelty of the Japanese devils, he learned from history, and when he really faced the Japanese army, he would have an extremely deep understanding of the Japanese devils.

In the face of the wounded and pleading wailing of the Japanese devils, Xia Yuan did not have the slightest soft-heartedness, these are enemies, their hands are stained with the blood of the Chinese, how can Xia Yuan sympathize with the enemy.

When cleaning up the battlefield, he would ask the rout soldiers to replenish the Japanese devils left in the position, although Xia Yuan believed in red, but he would not treat the prisoners preferentially, not to mention this group of enemies stained with the blood of the Chinese, when the Japanese devils who were basically not dead begged the rout soldiers to spare their lives, Xia Yuan would let them execute the wounded soldiers of the Japanese army.

It is also a curse to keep it.

After the new round of Japanese attack was repulsed, the other side of the Nu River transported a batch of daily necessities, food, drink, use, and a lot of medical supplies, Hao Veterinarian was very happy, since yesterday after the Japanese army launched a large-scale attack on Nantianmen, the wounded of the Sichuan Army began to increase, and the medical supplies were almost exhausted, and he took Xiwa to find some herbs to use all the herbs on some seriously wounded, and the lightly wounded were also faced with no medicine available.

The reinforcement of the defenders on the Nantianmen Gate from the rear was undoubtedly timely, which greatly changed all the predicaments faced by the Sichuan Legion at present, and also gave the soldiers of the Sichuan Legion great confidence in the next battle.

At the same time, the rear also brought good news, the artillery of the Yu regiment was ready, and also brought a standard-bearer to the Sichuan regiment to contact the artillery position at any time, and the gunner also made a detailed observation of the position in front of the Nantianmen, and divided several areas as the target of artillery bombardment.

In this way, the situation on the Nantianmen is likely to be reversed.

The soldiers were well fed, carrying sufficient weapons and ammunition, reinforcing the second line of defense, and setting up firing points, this time they had the support and help of the people of the whole country behind them, and every soldier had confidence in the victory of the battle on their faces, and the continuous attacks of the Japanese army failed to take Nantianmen, which also made them full of confidence in the future battle.

Xia Yuan still controls a heavy machine gun, since he controlled the heavy machine gun, with his strong strength and shooting ability, he has exerted extremely strong combat effectiveness on the battlefield, often the defense line he adheres to, can suppress the Japanese army completely unable to raise his head, and the attacking Japanese army has suffered heavy casualties on the defensive line he defended.

Before the Japanese attacking troops arrived, the second line of defense was rebuilt by Xia Yuan and the defeated troops.

"It will only get more and more difficult for the Japanese army to attack Nantianmen."

The Japanese attack in the afternoon did not arrive as scheduled, and the scouts sent out came back with the news that the large Japanese army was still stationed in the woods and showed no signs of wanting to attack.

This peculiar phenomenon continued until the next day, when the scouts received news that a large force of Japanese troops was being assembled, in the size of two thousand men.

This news caused an uproar in the Sichuan Army.

Ah Yi said: "Will they know that we are singing empty plans to them?" ”

Ah Yi's worries are not completely unreasonable, the empty city plan has always been their battle plan, the third line of defense has always been in a masked state, the Japanese army will send spies or scouts every day to reconnoiter the deployment of the defenders on the Nantianmen and the deployment of defenses, and they have already dealt with it, knowing that the Japanese devils will not give up on exploring intelligence, and have made sufficient preparations.

However, there will also be mistakes in the tight defense, and they have to think about whether it is because the empty city plan was leaked, so that the Japanese army is preparing for a large-scale attack.

Long Wen said: "No, if the Japanese army had really found out about our troop deployment a long time ago, they would not have waited so long to attack Nantianmen. ”

Meng was annoyed and clever, and answered, "Unless they get reinforcements?" ”

Long Wenwen nodded.

Previously, they all thought that the Japanese army would launch a night attack on Nantianmen in the middle of the night, but Xia Yuan said that this was not possible, the Sichuan Army sang an empty city plan at Nantaimen, and the Japanese army attacked Nantianmen at night, and they had to bear the risk that the position could not be captured and the number of defenders was unknown, which was also the risk that the Japanese army did not choose to attack Nantianmen at night.

And now, the Japanese army has once again gathered a large number of troops, and it is clear that they have a grasp of this battle.

"Give up garrisoning the second position and stick to the third position!"

This is Xia Yuan's order, regardless of whether the Japanese army finds out that they are singing empty city plans, but an attack of this scale is definitely not something that the soldiers on the No. 2 defense line can withstand, and even have to pay heavy casualties for this, some sacrifices are necessary, and some sacrifices are unnecessary, unnecessary sacrifices, Xia Yuan will never let these sacrifices appear.

And he made the right decision.

Near noon, the roar of fighter planes was heard in the sky.
