The attacking Japanese soldiers often rush towards Xia Yuan in groups of seven or eight. They know that Xia Yuan is very good at fighting with bayonets. There will always be two or three Japanese soldiers who attack Xia Yuan's bayonets, trying to use their bodies to attract Xia Yuan's bayonets.
The Japanese soldiers nearby were looking for an opportunity to kill Xia Yuan.
But Xia Yuan was always able to deal with the oncoming Japanese troops with a calm mind. Under such circumstances, the physical and mental consumption was undoubtedly huge.
He looked down at his palms, and his fingers were trembling slightly. Around him, the corpses of Japanese soldiers were lying in disorder. Ayi, who was responsible for recording the actual battlefield, witnessed Xia Yuan's strength and witnessed Xia Yuan's strength.
During the battle with multiple Japanese soldiers, he recorded the heroic commander's combat deeds in detail in his notebook.
Even after Ah Yi grew old, this scene was still deeply imprinted on his heart like a brand.
"I have never seen anyone as powerful as him. It is unimaginable to see this person in the ranks of the National Army. Even though I witnessed the entire Liberation War and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, I have never been able to find anyone who can compare with him.
He is a rare anti-Japanese general and a legend that can never be erased in our hearts!"
The figure stood tall in the dusk, stretching very long on the ground, and its shadow crookedly fell on the corpse behind him. In Ayi's eyes, he looked like he had crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
One person holds a position, and everyone around him is already dead.
Meng Fan limped over and looked at the expressionless side face, "Captain, are you okay?"
Xia Yuan came back to his senses and looked at the curled bayonet, the empty magazine, and the bloody gun handle. He threw the gun aside and picked it up. He didn't know it was dropped by one of his own.
What fell was the weapon dropped by the Japanese, who shouted: "Clean the battlefield."
Not far away, Li Wula and Mi Long stood together. The two Northeastern guys squinted their eyes and looked into the distance. Mi Long said: "The feeling of fighting with him is just different. If he can walk down from South Tiananmen alive, what will happen in the future?"
We can definitely drive away the Japanese devils."
Li Wula didn't say a word, just stared at the figure blankly.
Mi Long prodded Li Wula again, "You're not even as good as 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 fleshy, and no matter how cold-hearted they are, they cannot watch this blocking battle from beginning to end, especially when watching
See the scene of the Paoze brothers fighting the Japanese on the second line of defense. They rushed forward one after another, and those who fell rushed up again, pushing the Japanese troops against the second line of defense.
The soldiers on the third line of defense all had tears in their eyes. They asked Long Wenwen to fight and wanted to support the second line of defense.
Long Wenwen looked expressionlessly at the soldiers of the Sichuan Army Corps who were fighting on the far second line of defense: "No one is allowed to go without the commander's order! Look at them all, look at their efforts to protect us
How did the country fight against the Japanese devils? None of them were cowards. They were upright men and true anti-Japanese heroes!"
They just stood on the third line of defense, watching the soldiers on the second line of defense fighting the Japanese. The Sichuan Army soldiers falling one by one made their hearts hurt, and they looked ahead with tears in their eyes.
, at this moment, everyone has a fire accumulated in their hearts.
Bu La, Yao Ma and a group of defeated soldiers from the shelter looked at them angrily. They found Long Wen Zhang and asked loudly:
"Why don't you go for reinforcements! Why! Why on earth! I'm going to find the group leader, where is the group leader!"
Long Wenwen didn't speak, but stretched out a finger in the distance and pointed at the second line of defense halfway up the mountain. The defeated soldiers turned their heads and looked at the soldiers on the second line of defense who were still fighting with the Japanese army in the distance.
For a moment, they lost their voice and watched quietly, watching the former brothers of Paoze fall one by one. They held guns and bayonets and rushed towards the Japanese. Their figures were so strong and strong.
So majestic.
Long Wenwen shouted loudly again: "How can I say that I have no clothes, but I share the same robe with you?"
At this moment, they understood that Long Wenwen's words sounded very formal and were often mentioned on his lips. The cold hearts in their hearts seemed to be ignited with a flame and burning.
After the battle, they sat in the trench in silence. The always lively Yao Ma and Bu La were no longer active. The extremely fierce battle in the afternoon made their hearts that had gradually become cold become hot again, and they felt blocked.
It's like holding a lump of something.
Meng Fan limped and asked Xia Yuan: "Why not let us go to reinforce? Why let us watch them die together with the Japanese devils? Is it just for the souls you mentioned? For the souls you mentioned, so many people were let go
Sacrifice! Why!”
Xia Yuan silently picked up weapons and ammunition on the battlefield and put them in his arms. Meng Fan stood in front of Xia Yuan and looked at Xia Yuan: "Why!"
Xia Yuan said: "You don't understand."
Meng Fan said: "Little Master, I have never understood anything since I was a child. You are right. I don't understand. I don't understand the soul you are talking about. If I were you, I would not do it for the soul you are talking about."
And let so many people die."
Xia Yuan looked at Yao Ma, Bu La, A Yi and others who were standing on the trench again. They were watching quietly. There were also the defeated soldiers on the third line of defense. They were also watching quietly, but every time
Everyone felt uncomfortable inside. However, because of his order, the two companies of soldiers on the second line of defense were left with only one platoon, a platoon with incomplete organization, and a platoon composed of lightly and seriously wounded people.
row.
The soldiers of the two companies on the second line of defense were basically all exhausted and dead, fighting the Japanese devils desperately.
If the regiment commander had issued an attack order at that time, they would have been able to reinforce the soldiers on the second line of defense to reduce their pressure and push down the Japanese troops. However, their regiment commander did not issue such an order and instead allowed the second line of defense to attack.
The soldiers on the defense line hold their positions, and the soldiers on the third line of defense hold the third line of defense.
There was confusion and confusion in their eyes.
Xia Yuan picked up the bullets half hidden in the mud on the ground, picked them up, wiped them gently, and put them in the bullet bag. Facing Meng FanLe, facing the eyes of a group of defeated soldiers, he said: "Every line of defense is built
Since then, they have been shouldering different missions. The first line of defense is used to slow down 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 organization and complete artillery fire. Send any team
Guarding the first line of defense will result in heavy casualties. The palms and backs of the hands are all covered with flesh. Who can decide their life or death!"
"The mission of the second line of defense is the most demanding. They are responsible for annihilating the Japanese army's effective forces to the greatest extent, delaying the Japanese army's attack time, and annihilating the Japanese army to the greatest extent. Why don't you support the Japanese army's defense on our Nantianmen?
The situation is not clear. They encountered huge obstacles on the second line of defense, and they mistakenly thought that the second line of defense was an important line of defense for Nantianmen, so the defenders on the second line of defense would hold on to their positions. But they did not expect that,
Our real line of defense is the third line of defense. They will not think that we have a third line of defense on Nantianmen. They will win if they are alone. They will receive your support on the third line of defense with full confidence.
If we strike, the Japanese army will retreat without a fight."
"The third line of defense is the foundation of the entire Nantianmen line of defense and our trump card. I must ensure the integrity of the defenders on the third line of defense and sufficient weapons and ammunition. Why are light and heavy machine guns not used on the second line of defense? In advance
If it is used, who will be the third line of defense?"
"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 army will know that we have more stocks hoarded on the ridge.
strength, the Japanese army would reassess their attack and regroup their troops."
Xia Yuan thought more clearly than anyone else. He had come all the way from the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, and he liked to take a long-term view. The three lines of defense were facing Cao GUI's argument of "strengthening in one go, then weakening again, and then exhausting three times." A Japanese brigade
Five thousand people, even if there is no artillery position, just relying on the number of people, one person can swamp them.
His voice turned cold: "Even if they die, you can only watch them die! This is an order. For soldiers, orders are God! And for me, any compassionate reinforcements
, will lead to the failure of this battle!"
"It's okay if the Japanese army doesn't reinforce Nantianmen. Once they do, we will face an attack by a large Japanese army!"
The second line of defense is destined to be defeated by the Japanese attack the next day. If it can hold on for a longer time, that would be great. If it cannot hold on for that long, it doesn't matter. The third line of defense will eventually withstand the attack.
The Japanese army attacked until the Japanese army was exhausted. At that time, if the Japanese army wanted to support the Japanese army attacking Nantianmen, they would have to consider whether it had strategic significance to capture Nantianmen themselves.
Any meaningless attack is undesirable.
In that way, the sacrifices of the soldiers on the second line of defense will be worthwhile. Their sacrifices are not unjust sacrifices, but valuable sacrifices.
The sky was gray and the sun was setting. A small group of Japanese troops launched another attack in the second direction at dusk. The fierce battle lasted for a whole day. On this day, the latest battle in Nantianmen published in the news newspapers was published in various places.
Released in big cities.
"Xia Yuan, the leader of the Nantianmen Shangchuan Army, led a ten-man commando team under the cover of night, passed through the Japanese army's tightly defended rear, and suddenly reached the Japanese artillery position. Last night and early morning, they blew up the Japanese artillery position. It was as dull as thunder.
The loud explosion lasted for more than half an hour, and the sound of the explosion alerted the defense troops along the Nu River, and also alerted us."
"Well done to the Sichuan Army!"
"The eleven-man commando team successfully destroyed the Japanese army, anti-Japanese general Xia Yuan!"
One news newspaper after another was widely publicized in major cities. The communication at that time was not timely. In the afternoon, when the soldiers on the second line of defense at Nantianmen were fighting with the Japanese, the newspapers began to be printed, and in the evening
It was released and started brewing the next day. People learned about it through word of mouth, chatting in groups, or storytellers.
Some people praise the Sichuan Army for its bravery and fearlessness, as it is the last line of defense for the expeditionary force. Some people think that these news were fabricated by the Nationalist government in order to beautify the national army. Some people think that the number of Japanese troops attacking Nantianmen was not large, so they gave the ten-man team the credit.
Take advantage of the opportunity.
In short, there are different opinions, but there is no concealment that the Battle of Nantianmen has begun to brew and ferment in China. One day, public opinion will explode.
And this requires a fuse.
The national army had long known what happened last night through Yu Xiaoqing. Xia Yuan, the commander of the Sichuan Army, led a ten-man assault team deep into the rear of the Japanese army and attacked the Japanese artillery position. The explosion lasted for more than half an hour, and the deafening sound was like thunder.
Same, continuous.
When the newspaper published it, not long after the incident was brewing, the award from the National Army was distributed to the other side of the Nu River. At the same time, the award was publicized throughout the country. The National Army also knew that since the Burma War, a hundred thousand troops were defeated and fled to Burma.
The national army has its own opinions and cannot be unified. Some are afraid of war, some love war, and some remain neutral, resulting in internal chaos.
The situation at home was even grimmer. Most of the domestic territory was occupied by the Japanese army, and the expeditionary force was defeated in Burma. The anti-Japanese sentiment was extremely cold. Under such circumstances, they urgently needed a victory to ignite the gradually cooling anti-Japanese sentiment.
mood.
Therefore, the National Army also plans to use this opportunity to restore the anti-Japanese sentiment of the people on the one hand, and to beautify the National Army on the other.
Xia Yuan and the others benefited even more. As the commendation order from Shangfeng was issued, in addition to the materials donated by domestic patriots and the people of Zenda, there was also a batch of materials approved by Shangfeng. However, this batch
After the materials were linked together, there was very little left under Yu Xiaoqing. Although Yu Xiaoqing was not a famous general, he was still proud, and he admired Xia Yuan's determination to defend Nantianmen, so this batch of materials
He ordered it to be placed among the supplies donated by domestic patriots.
At this time, it was already the fourth day that the Sichuan Army had defended Nantianmen. The Japanese army did not give up the attack on Nantianmen. After a night of preparations, the Japanese army once again organized a large number of Japs to launch a fierce attack on Nantianmen in the early morning.
The remaining artillery of the Japanese army fired at the mountainside of Nantai Gate. The roar was deafening and echoed in the valley.
The fierce fighting began again.
Yu Xiaoqing observed with a telescope, "The Sichuan Army Corps has been fighting fiercely with the Japanese army for two days. How many Japanese attacks they will face is still unknown."
Yu Xiaoqing was confident and ready to move, especially after seeing Shangfeng's commendation order for the Sichuan Army. Since even the Sichuan Army could withstand the Japanese attack for two days, naturally his Yu Army could also withstand the Japanese attack for two days.
