"This officer is different from the other officers." Shangguan Jiici said suddenly as he looked at Wang Zhong's leaving figure.

"It's indeed different!" Mi Long nodded in agreement, looking at Wang Zhong and watching him gradually disappear into the forest.

"We met him before in the woods. It was he who told me that you were behind me and asked me to ask for your help after you arrived." Shangguan Jiici said again.

"Really?" Mi Long was a little surprised. He really didn't expect that his newly acquired wife would actually meet Wang Zhong first.

"Yeah!" Shangguan Jiici said: "At that time, he said that he had urgent military affairs, left us some food and water, and left."

Mi Long said: "He didn't lie to you."

"I'm telling you, if we hadn't walked all this way, if it hadn't been for him, we would have been killed by the little devils by now."

"If we have the chance, we should thank them properly." Shangguan Jiici said seriously.

"Didn't I sell my life to him?" Milong said: "What you and my son have to do now is to cross the river quickly and wait for me to go back to Chanda to find you."

The butterfly's wings have already flapped, and Milong has undergone some subtle changes compared to the original him at the same time, perhaps even he himself was not aware of it.

Shangguan Jiici looked at Fanlong with burning eyes, seeing the determination and reluctance in his eyes, Shangguan Jiici said: "Bao'er and I are waiting for you in Chanda."

"Don't worry, your husband is destined to die."

"Let's go, I'll take you down first."

Having said that, Charming Dragon picked up Lei Bao'er, took Shangguan Jiici's hand, walked down from Nantianmen, and headed towards the ferry.

At the ferry, Xu Dabiao led a squad of soldiers to maintain order and organize the refugees to board the boat and cross the river in an orderly manner. The two soldiers in charge were also on the raft, and one after the other they were responsible for pulling the raft back to Nantianmen from the other side.

The refugees who landed on the other side were not allowed to leave immediately. Instead, they were guarded by soldiers and sent to designated locations for interrogation and identity verification. At least in the short term, they were not free. Naturally, this was to avoid

A spy who infiltrated the Japanese army.

On the Nantianmen.

With the more than a thousand people brought by Long Wenwen, the construction speed of the fortifications was as fast as pressing the fast forward button. The defeated soldiers also knew very well that the Japs were not far behind them and could attack at any time.

Come over, and the trenches and fortifications are the key to their survival. Only by repelling the Japs can they return to Zenda.

There were more than a thousand people, not one of whom was lazy or slippery. They all used their best strength. Those who didn't have tools used helmets, bayonets, and hand planers. With the cooperation of everyone, in less than an hour, they were on the top of the mountain.

On the back slope, criss-crossing fortifications gradually took shape.

Although crude, it at least allowed these defeated soldiers to have a bunker, which could block other vital parts of the body to the greatest extent when fighting the Japanese army.

Yu Xiaoqing on the other side was also watching the movements on the Nantian Gate through tactical telescopes, watching the ragged soldiers digging fortifications and carrying weapons and ammunition, looking like they were fighting to the death with the Japanese army.

Even Yu Xiaoqing's mood couldn't help but be a little complicated.

Although the words Wang Zhong said in the headquarters just now were a bit unpleasant, they were spoken from the bottom of his heart. Although Yu Xiaoqing was conceited and arrogant, she was not a dim-witted person who couldn't listen to good advice. It's just that Wang Zhong's words were too straightforward.

It was too direct. Not only did it uncover Yu Xiaoqing's scar, but she also pressed her fingers directly into the wound.

Yu Xiaoqing is not a saint, so how could he not have emotions.

"Teacher!" Behind Yu Xiaoqing, Zhang Lixian looked like he was hesitating to speak.

"Just say what you want to say!" Yu Xiaoqing said without looking back.

"Actually, I think what Wang Zhong said makes sense."

"Our artillery shells are indeed scarce, but if we can hit a few bases from time to time when they compete with the Japanese army, we can indeed reduce the Japanese army's effective strength and allow them to hold on at Nantianmen longer."

"As long as they are not wiped out by the Japanese army, the Japanese army will not be able to reach the Nu River."

Zhang Lixian and He Shuguang were all die-hard loyalists of Yu Xiaoqing and trusted confidants of Yu Xiaoqing. Yu Xiaoqing treated them like nephews. In their eyes, Yu Xiaoqing was not just a superior official.

Although Zhang Lixian and others have their own shortcomings, they are all passionate young people who have the heart to serve the country and are willing to sacrifice their lives in order to fight against the Japanese aggressors.

Even Zhang Lixian knew such a simple truth, how could Yu Xiaoqing not know it.

"If they really fight to the death with the Japanese army at Nantianmen, they will naturally be unable to support them with some artillery fire."

Regarding Zhang Lixian and He Shuguang, Yu Xiaoqing naturally became a little more relaxed, and her inner true thoughts were also reflected.

Yu Xiaoqing observed the movements on the Nantianmen through the tactical telescope, watching the cannon fodder dig and build defensive fortifications bit by bit like ants.

"Master!" Zhang Lixian was immediately excited, his eyes flickering, and he asked hurriedly: "Then why did you reject Wang Zhong before?"

Yu Xiaoqing said: "If I had not rejected him, how could he have made up his mind to lead the defeated troops on the other side to fight the Japanese army to the death at Nantianmen?"

"If they simply want to deceive my artillery fire and cover their retreat, wouldn't all our artillery shells be wasted?"

Zhang Lixian was stunned, obviously not expecting Yu Xiaoqing to answer like this.

Yu Xiaoqing did not look back, but still looked at Nantianmen through the telescope: "You are still a little too young."

"There are more than a thousand people, nearly a regiment of people. The Japanese army must be firmly behind them, just waiting for an opportunity.

If they forcefully cross the river, they will only expose their backs to the gunfire of the Japanese army. If you were the commander of the Japanese army, would you let this opportunity pass?"

"Of course not!" Seeing Yu Xiaoqing turn around to ask himself, Zhang Lixian immediately stood up and answered, with his head held high and his chest high, his military posture upright.

time."

Yu Xiaoqing said: "So their best and only choice now is to fight to the death against the Japanese invaders at Nantianmen, which can not only consume the Japanese invaders' vitality, but also relieve the pressure on Jiang's defense!"

"After the war, I can also report to the top and ask for credit for them."

"From Northeast China to Yunnan, they fought all the way, lost all the way, and escaped all the way. This result may be the best choice for them."

Zhang Lixian was thoughtful, and at the same time he felt regretful that he was entangled in Wang Zhong's words, which caused his worship of Master to waver a little.

And I couldn't help but sigh quietly in my heart: Master is indeed a master, his thoughts are deeper than ours.

Yu Xiaoqing turned to look at Zhang Lixian and others and said: "Remember, we are soldiers. We died on the battlefield and were buried in horse leather. This is our destination. If one day in the future, we need to sacrifice ourselves and start a life-and-death struggle with the Japanese army, I, Yu Xiaoqing, will definitely rush in.

First."

When Zhang Lixian and others heard this, they felt deafened, their hearts were surging, and the blood was surging in their bodies. Their expressions were all solemn, and the look of admiration in their eyes almost overflowed from their eyes.

"Let people keep an eye on Nantianmen and report any news immediately!"

"yes!"

As the general manager of Jiang Defense and the commander of Yu Division, Yu Xiaoqing has a lot of things waiting for him to deal with every day, and it is impossible to spend all his time observing the excavation of positions on the other side.

······

Behind the Nantianmen, in the woods near the foot of the mountain, through the gaps in the forest, looking at the Japanese troops dozens of meters away, rushing towards the Nantianmen, Wang Zhong did not hesitate at all. He stood behind the tree and picked up the gun in his hand.

A sniper rifle, just raise your hand and shoot.

Tens of meters away, the Japanese frontline soldiers heard only a gunshot and a "bang" sound. The Japanese soldier at the head was shot through the helmet, and the bullet was poured into his head. If it were not blocked by the helmet, he would probably have lost his brain.

It's about to pop out.

"Enemy attack!"

The Japanese soldiers shouted loudly and immediately fell down to find bunkers.

But Wang Zhong's rate of fire was so fast, he shot two more Japanese soldiers in a blink of an eye, and then quickly retreated, using the terrain in the forest to hide himself and quickly move his position.

After three gunshots, the gunfire suddenly stopped. A brave Japanese soldier quietly raised his head and looked in the direction of the gunfire. Before he could see clearly, there was another gunshot and a bullet penetrated.

He took off his helmet and directly killed him.

The sound of gunfire changed to another direction.

"over there!"

Wang Zhong's gunfire also exposed his position. The Japanese commander quickly separated two groups of troops and quietly moved around to the flank, preparing to outflank Wang Zhong.

Three more shots were fired, three cabinets were knocked down, and Wang Zhong changed positions again.

What she wants to do now is not to kill as many Japanese troops as possible, but to shoot to warn the defeated soldiers on the mountain, and at the same time delay the Japanese army so that Long Wenwen and the defeated soldiers on the mountain can prepare.

At the same time, the sudden sound of gunfire at Nantianmen instantly stunned the cannon fodder who were digging trenches, and the movements of their hands froze involuntarily.

"The devil is coming!"

"quick!"

"Ready to fight!"

Long Wenwen shouted loudly while hiding behind the trench.

"Hurry up!"

The veterans took the lead, followed by the new recruits, who dropped their shovels and hoes, quickly pulled the bolt, set up the gun, and aimed down the hillside.

Mi Long, Cui Yong and others also quickly entered the predetermined position and set up light and heavy machine guns.

Just as the defeated soldiers poured into the trenches, gunfire came from the bottom of the mountain again.

There were still some refugees at the ferry. When they heard the sound of gunshots, the refugees panicked. Before the refugees could get into chaos, Xu Dabiao stood up and shot into the air, shocking everyone.

"Everyone line up for me. Our team is on the mountain and the devils can't get through. If anyone jostles and bumps into us, we'll have to go to the end of the line for me."

Now there are two more rafts at the ferry, and two more hemp ropes connecting the two sides. They were all just made by Long Wenwen's men in preparation for evacuation.

With three ropes and three bamboo rafts, the speed was several times faster than before. However, the river was more than a hundred meters wide, and crossing the river was all driven by manpower. Naturally, it couldn't go any faster.

Fortunately, the refugees had already passed a lot, and although the rest were panicking, they felt more at ease when they remembered that there were still troops guarding the mountains.

At Nantianmen, Wang Zhong, who delayed the Japanese for more than ten minutes, made a long circle before returning to his position. Long Wenwen saw him and hurriedly asked about the strength of the Japanese army.

"At least one squadron." Wang Zhong said solemnly: "And the Japanese reinforcements are still coming here in a steady stream."

"He's riding on a horse!" Long Wenwen couldn't help but cursed secretly: "It's coming too fast!"

Wang Zhong said: "Let brothers prepare gas masks. Those who don't have gas masks should be ready to withdraw from the trenches at any time."

"Gas mask?" Long Wenwen was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise: "Gas bomb?"

Wang Zhongdao: "It's not unusual for the Japs to coordinate their infantry and artillery tactics. There are so many of us, so we may not be able to stop them. We're just afraid that the Japs will secretly use dirty tricks when they see that they can't attack our position."

Long Wenwen nodded cautiously and said: "You are right, the little devil has many tricks and unscrupulous tricks, we must guard against them."

"I have already negotiated with Yu Xiaoqing for artillery support, but based on my understanding of Yu Xiaoqing, he is a master who does not see rabbits and does not let go of hawks. Only when he sees that we are truly determined to fight the Japanese army to the death will he be able to give us artillery support.

"

Long Wenwen didn't answer. Regardless of whether there was Yu Xiaoqing's artillery support or not, the battle between them and the Japs at Nantianmen was inevitable.

"This battle must be fought!" Long Wenwen was unexpectedly calm, holding the Lee-Enfield rifle and staring down the slope with burning eyes.

A few minutes later, the figures of several Japanese soldiers loomed. Long Wenwen had already given the order. He did not shoot, and no one was allowed to take action first.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After waiting for another two minutes, more and more Japanese troops came into their sight, especially the first few, who were only thirty years away from the forward position.

distance of several meters.

Long Wenwen aimed his gun at a Japanese soldier's head and pulled the trigger!

With a bang of gunfire, the helmet of the leading Japanese soldier was penetrated, and blood spurted out.

"beat!"

Meng Fanglia kept staring at Long Wenwen, and when he saw him firing, he immediately let out a hysterical shout, then quickly took aim and fired!

Unfortunately, the attack was too hasty and missed. Before he could take another aim, the Japanese soldier he was targeting had already been shot in the head and fell to the ground like a corpse.

"kill!"

Mi Long led his light machine gun team, and Cui Yong, a big man from Henan Province, drove the Maxim and fired countless bullets in his breath.

The twenty or so Japanese soldiers at the forefront were shot to the ground one after another like wheat being harvested.

Wang Zhong and Bula each led a few veterans with accurate marksmanship, hiding on the high ground on the flanks, each looking for a target.

Unfortunately, there was no concave pocket terrain on Nantianmen, and they could not drive the Japanese troops into the pocket.

Wang Zhong emptied the barrel of a gun again, and not a single shot missed. He killed six Japanese soldiers, including two, and the others also had their own achievements.

In less than five minutes, the Japanese army withdrew from the Nantianmen, leaving nearly a squad of corpses behind.

Less than a minute after the Japanese troops withdrew from sight, the gunfire had already stopped, but a series of dull sounds reached the ears of Wang Chong, who had been paying attention to the east wing of the Japanese troops.

When Wang Zhong heard the sound, more than a dozen cannonballs flew into the air from behind the forest at the foot of the mountain.

"Lie down!"
