In the early days of the war, the battle damage ratio reached an astonishing ten to one. But now the tide has turned. The Japanese have failed to reach the forward position of the second line of defense even at the cost of a squadron. According to post-war statistics, the two
Only seven men of the company were killed and eight were injured.
Such a battle-loss ratio was unimaginable in the past.
The second wave of the Japanese attack was disintegrated by them, and only about 30 of the 200 people left escaped, leaving behind a large number of Japanese corpses, guns and ammunition.
With the addition of this batch of weapons, the defeated soldiers defending the second line of defense basically have a Type 38 with fifty rounds of ammunition, and the marching kettles are sent to the third line of defense, so that the defeated soldiers on the third line of defense can
The soldiers filled the kettles with hot water, and they also found some food from the Japanese soldiers, which was collected and distributed uniformly.
After the battle, Meng Fangliao and Vet Hao found Xia Yuan.
Meng Fangliao said: "The medicines collected from the Japanese are getting less and less. The first-aid kits we brought from the British airport have basically been used up. As the fighting continues, the medicines will become even scarcer. We need to
Be prepared in advance for a lack of medicines."
Xia Yuan pondered for a moment and said: "Ask the brothers of the Sichuan Army if any of them know about herbal medicine. We are located in Nantianmen, surrounded by woods. Herbal medicine can be used in emergencies and relieve injuries. In a few days, we will face the supplies we need.
The shortage problem will be much better."
Meng Fangliao looked at him, "How many things are you hiding from us? What if the shortage of supplies has not improved by then? More than 700 people can only eat one meal a day and rely on drinking water the rest of the time."
Xia Yuan said: "You have to have hope for our country."
Meng Fanxiao said in a calm voice: "When we were defeated, we were abandoned by the country. How can we have hope for the country now?"
He added: "You are the leader, you are different from us."
Xia Yuandao: "Why is it different? Without this identity, I am a human being and a soldier just like you. Our duty is to protect our home and country. Veterinarian Hao, I'm sorry, you are one of the few people in our team who can see you."
Open and sober, you should understand that our current efforts are paving the way for a better life in the future. No matter how difficult the environment is, we must overcome it."
He added: "The country has fallen, the mountains and rivers are in ruins, in such a turbulent era, if we don't do anything, can we pray that the Japanese devils will not attack the place where we live? I am the leader, and the Japanese devils will let us go.
Is that so? No, they will only become more ferocious and cruel. Within a week, Yu Xiaoqing will send us supplies, and we will be cared for by the people across the country."
"Your soul will come back."
"The remaining materials are distributed uniformly, regardless of official position, and everyone follows the same standard."
"Of course, the wounded take priority."
At all times, priority is given to the wounded.
Meng Fanlao looked at Xia Yuan. He wondered more than once how the regiment commander could maintain such composure. When 700 defeated troops faced the attack of 5,000 Japanese troops, even if they blew up the Japanese artillery positions, 700 troops would still be very calm.
It was difficult to withstand the crazy attack of the Japanese army. The most important thing was that they had very few living materials left, especially the ammunition which was in short supply.
Veterinarian Hao said: "Since the head of the group says it's okay, it means it's really okay."
Meng Fan said: "Do you really believe what he said?"
Veterinarian Hao asked back: "I'm sorry, don't you believe the leader?"
Meng Fan said: "I believe him on some things, but there are also some things where I don't quite believe him. I always feel like he is trying to make things difficult for all of us."
Veterinarian Hao said: "What is this called, looking at plum blossoms to quench thirst?"
Meng Fanxiao nodded, "An invisible cake."
Veterinarian Hao said: "I do believe in the leader."
Meng Fanglai glanced at Vet Hao: "How can you trust him? You haven't even fought with him."
Veterinarian Hao said anxiously: "Why haven't I fought with him before? Now I am fighting with our regiment leader. I tell Fanla, you have a lot of tricks. If you use them in the right place, our regiment leader is very powerful."
I can tell that the way he looks at you is different from the way he looks at Kaname and the others."
Meng Fanla became interested and asked, "What's the look in your eyes?"
Vet Hao said: "An indescribable look."
"Hey, you can see the indescribable look in his eyes, Veterinarian Hao, you are too talented to be a veterinarian, you should become a fortune teller."
"I don't understand that stuff. I only know that the regiment leader is different from other officials." Vet Hao chased Meng Fanfan: "Fenglao, don't blame me for being talkative. Have you ever seen the regiment leader leading a small team?
Did you go to bomb the Japanese artillery positions? Have you ever seen a regiment commander follow us and stick to the forward position? Which regiment commander is not directing the frontline battle from the command post in the rear. Facts have proved that you don’t have to stay in the command post.
The commander of the battle is here."
"Our leader is very smart, he is smarter than you."
Meng Fanglia stopped and looked at Vet Hao. Veterinarian Hao met Meng Fanglia's gaze and said: "It's useless for you to look at me. You are a bad guy. You have so many evil intentions. How can you treat such a good leader like us?"
You can't find it even with a lantern."
Meng Fangna gritted his teeth and said: "You just think that I am the kind of person who goes to find trouble with the regiment leader, don't you? The medicine is not enough. If you don't tell me, let me go. Otherwise, what should I do? Look at the wounded
The wound became infected, the injury worsened, and finally he died because there was no medicine?"
Veterinarian Hao said nothing.
Meng Fanyi grinned again and said: "I did bad things in relationships, and you still say that I'm not the one, so in the end all the good things fell on you, right?"
Veterinarian Hao was anxious: "I am not like this. Don't talk nonsense. We should think about the injured. I admit that what I just said was wrong. I am also worried."
Meng Fanxiao smiled: "What are you worried about? Are you worried that I will make our leader angry and run away?"
Veterinary Hao was silent again, and Meng Fan said: "You underestimate our leader too much. He is smarter than you think. Even I am not as good as him. You are right about this, otherwise
How can I be the leader? I can’t be the leader.”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Seeing what Veterinarian Hao wanted to say, Meng Fanlao waved his hand and asked: "Just asking you one thing, our group leader said, in a few days
Our situation will get better, believe it or not."
Veterinarian Hao nodded firmly and said: "I believe that the regiment commander has great powers. Ten of them blew up the artillery position of the little Japanese under the eyes of five thousand little Japanese. If he said he would hold on to the Nantianmen, he would hold on to the Nantianmen.
Milong and the others have great trust in the leader."
Meng Fangli ignored Veterinary Hao no longer, but in his heart he was thinking about what Xia Yuan said to himself this morning when it was still dark.
Is it possible? It's possible, but it seems too fanciful.
Nothing could be done to change the situation of the defeated soldiers at Nantianmen.
On the other side of the Nu River, a bombshell news came out. The Sichuan Army Corps on Nantianmen sent a ten-man night attack team. Under the leadership of the leader of the Sichuan Army Corps, they passed through the Japanese defense line and reached the rear of the Japanese army.
It blew up the Japanese artillery positions, destroyed a large number of heavy artillery and artillery shells hoarded by the Japanese army, greatly weakened the Japanese army's confidence in attacking, and strengthened the determination of the Sichuan Army soldiers who blocked the Japanese army to fight the Japanese army to the end.
This news quickly caused an uproar in Yutuan and Zenda. A ten-man assault team, led by the leader of the Sichuan Army, accomplished this almost impossible thing and completely destroyed the Japanese artillery position.
Yu Xiaoqing listened to Zhang Lixian's report in astonishment, with shock on his face. He hurriedly asked: "Are you sure the news is true!?"
Zhang Lixian nodded: "The explosion last night was caused by the attack on the Japanese artillery position. The explosion lasted for more than half an hour. The Japanese army had accumulated a lot of artillery shells on the other side. According to the soldiers who sent the news,
It was probably used by the Japanese army to open up the Nujiang defense line, and I believe this, otherwise the Japanese army would have bombarded Nantianmen where the Sichuan Army was stationed."
Yu Xiaoqing recovered from the shock. He looked at Zhang Lixian and said, "If it were you, with a team of ten people, could you complete the blowing up of the Japanese artillery position?"
Zhang Lixian was silent for a while, "If the Japanese army's defense on the artillery position is relatively relaxed, there may be a chance."
Yu Xiaoqing asked again: "What if after blowing up the Japanese artillery positions, we were able to escape unscathed, and none of the eleven people suffered casualties?"
Zhang Lixian was silent for a long time, shook his head, but then he said: "If reinforcements from the Japanese army arrive..."
Yu Xiaoqing said: "The Japanese reinforcements arrived slowly. You have to know that the other party led ten people through the Japanese defense line. Can you do this alone?"
Zhang Lixian continued to remain silent. He could not guarantee that he could lead a team of ten people through the Japanese defense line.
Yu Xiaoqing stood up from his seat, walked to the observation platform and looked at the Nantianmen bathed in the sun in the distance, and said: "He is a man who leads troops to fight. He dared to attack the Japanese artillery position at night with ten people.
This kind of courage is something that few people can achieve."
Zhang Lixian took a step forward firmly and said, "I can do it!"
Yu Xiaoqing said without looking back: "You have the courage to stand up, but you do not have the ability to blow up the Japanese artillery position. The Japanese army lost an artillery position, which can greatly delay the Japanese attack. Even he can defend
You have to live at Nantianmen."
"Regiment leader, maybe you have forgotten one thing." Zhang Lixian added: "Currently, the strength of both sides is still in a vague stage. The Japanese troops faced by the Sichuan Army are probably not as many as we imagined. Previously, the troops passed from Shangfeng
According to the intelligence that came over, the large Japanese troops are chasing the scattered British troops and the expeditionary force, heading towards India, but there will not be too many Japanese troops heading towards China."
Yu Xiaoqing said: "Basically, the size of the Japanese army can be inferred from the extent of the explosion last night."
Zhang Lixian seemed unable to accept this reality and kept silent.
Yu Xiaoqing stopped discussing this matter with Zhang Lixian, "Have the reporters at the newspaper informed them?"
Zhang Lixian said: "He Shuguang has informed the newspaper and media, and they have already exploded, saying that Xia Tuanzuo is a commander who is good at fighting."
"Able to conquer and fight well."
Yu Xiaoqing stood with his hands behind his hands, standing on the observation platform and looking at the Nantianmen. The crackling gunfire came from the other side of the Nantianmen. The defenders on the Nantianmen were fighting fiercely with the Japanese army.
He also longed for such a battle, but it was a pity that the order he received was to garrison the Chanda Nu River defense line. The current war between Burma and Myanmar made him flee, and he was holding back a ball of fire in his heart. If it were not for the retreat of his allies, he would not have been defeated.
The expeditionary force had long been based in Burma. Unfortunately, the army was panicked, and there were different voices within the Yu regiment. Many battalion commanders refused to go deeper, for fear of being dumped by the Japanese army and unable to come back.
Under such circumstances, they fought with the Japanese army twice in Burma and joined the retreating troops. They retreated all the way to Chanda. There was no intention to fight on the top of the mountain. The Yu regiment was in chaos and had different voices, causing Yu Xiaoqing to
There was no battle, and I felt extremely aggrieved by the Burma War.
In the end, he could only return to Zenda in despair, while Xia Yuan, leading his Sichuan Army, became more and more courageous as they fought. Even when weapons and equipment could not be guaranteed, they had been holding on to Nantianmen for three days, forming a defense line for the Nujiang River.
A lot of time was bought for the consolidation and establishment.
Yu Xiaoqing envied Xia Yuan, but at the same time regretted himself. If he had persisted in his own ideas unswervingly and not been disturbed by other words, perhaps he would have led Yu Tuan to stay in Burma.
He looked at Nantianmen quietly, longing but helpless in his heart.
Zenda.
Tang Ji was on the phone with Yu Xiaoqing's father: "Sir, just now, the latest news came from Nantianmen. The leader of the Sichuan Army led a ten-man assault team to attack the Japanese artillery position at night and successfully destroyed the Japanese artillery position.
The news about the artillery position is true and has been passed on to the newspaper reporter. It is estimated that this matter will be published in the newspaper."
"Yes sir, the battle of Nantianmen has attracted too many people's attention at present. As far as I know, even he is paying attention to this matter. After all, Nantianmen is the last battlefield of the Battle of Burma. The defeat of the expeditionary force made us
After suffering so much abuse, the appearance of the Sichuan Army reversed the current situation and successfully withstood the Japanese attack for three days. If the news that the ten-man commando team blew up the Japanese artillery position last night appeared in the newspapers, the situation would probably be more complicated."
"Sir, I think we should not interfere at the moment. Let's just wait and see what happens. Nantianmen is on the other side of Chanda. Yu regiment can take over the defense of Nantianmen at any time. Cao GUI's debate will make him strong at one go, then weaken again, and then be exhausted. Japanese artillery positions
If it is blown up and lacks effective defense means, the Japanese attack will be frustrated, but there is no guarantee that the Japanese army will mobilize artillery again to use in the battle of Nantianmen, so we will observe and observe first. If the Japanese army does not attack Nantianmen within three days,
Tianmen is carrying out a large-scale artillery bombardment. You give Yu Xiaoqing an order to cross the South Tianmen and change defenses with the exhausted Sichuan Army, on the grounds that the Sichuan Army will be transferred back to Zenda for rest."
"Yes, don't worry, I will be watching here. By the way, I suggest that the arrangement of supplies be put on the agenda. We took the lead first and sold favors to others in exchange for what we need. I believe that no one will
Disagree."
"After all, people across the country are paying attention to this matter."
