Before we reached Nantianmen, we saw that the ancient fossilized tree on the top of the mountain had collapsed.

Wang Zhong hurried up the mountain. When he got closer, he discovered that the battalion responsible for guarding Nantianmen suffered heavy casualties. A disgraced Ayi was directing the soldiers to organize a defense. The veterinarian and the health workers were rescuing those injured by the explosion just now.

Soldier, no trace of the Japanese was seen around.

Wang Zhong searched around and found that he really didn't see the Japs, so he moved closer and carefully inspected the explosion.

"What's going on?"

When Ah Yi saw Wang Zhong, it was as if he had grasped a life-saving straw: "I don't know what happened. I was inspecting the position just now, but I didn't expect that as soon as I walked to the front, there was an explosion on the top of the mountain."

Wang Zhong looked at the fossilized ancient tree on the top of the mountain as the center, with a radius of more than 200 meters. It was directly bombed and collapsed into a large pit two to three meters deep. It was unknown how many soldiers were buried in the pit.

, and the four heavy machine guns that Wang Zhong had previously deployed around the ancient tree were also not spared.

"That old devil Zhuuchi, how many explosives have been buried in the mountain?" Even Wang Zhong was shocked when he saw the scene in front of him.

Fortunately, he sent Kang Ya and Shebuti in advance to stop the Japanese army. After taking Nantianmen, he immediately joined Long Wenwen and his men to support Shebuti and the others, leaving only one battalion to guard Nantianmen.

If he were to station himself steadily at Nantianmen, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Approximately how many brothers have been lost?" Wang Zhong hurriedly asked Ah Yi next to him.

Ayi said hurriedly: "Preliminary statistics show that there is no more than one company."

The reason why less than one company was lost was because there was only one battalion of more than 300 people on Nantianmen, scattered among the multi-layered fortifications from the mountainside up. This prevented them from being wiped out by the explosion just now.

"You organize the rescue first!"

"Even if they are dead, we must dig out the bodies of our brothers."

"yes!"

Ah Yi organized people to rescue people. Wang Zhong was thinking calmly while looking around, searching for suspicious people he thought might appear.

Such a large-scale explosion was either a time bomb that had been set long ago, or someone actively detonated it underground.

Could it be that Takeuchi Renshan had been buried underground by the explosion? But if not, where on earth did this old devil go?

For a moment, Wang Zhong couldn't guess the whereabouts of the old devil Takeuchi.

This battle started too suddenly, completely beyond the expectations of Wang Zhong and Long Wenwen.

Just as Wang Zhong was searching Nantianmen, people sent by Yu Xiaoqing from the other side also rushed to Nantianmen.

The visitor was none other than Zhang Lixian, Yu Xiaoqing's close confidant, who hurried across the river with Yu Xiaoqing's main force and quickly boarded the Nantianmen.

"What's going on?" Zhang Lixian came up and saw Ayi organizing people to rescue the wounded in the pit.

"The Japanese buried explosives on the mountain in advance!" Ayi explained in a hurry and continued to direct the soldiers to rescue people.

After several years of training, today's Ayi is no longer the 'Zhao Kuo' who was full of enthusiasm but only knew how to talk on paper and never had actual combat experience. Although he is far away from the Wang Zhong and Long Wenwen he wanted to be

There is still a big gap, but the progress is obvious to all.

The logistics of the entire Sichuan Army was handled by Ah Yi alone. From the beginning, he was in a hurry and had no clue, to now he is well organized. Even in the face of such a large-scale explosion and massive casualties, he can still command calmly.

While the surviving soldiers held the defensive line, they led some soldiers to rescue their comrades in the pit.

"The first and second battalions enter the position, and the third battalion helps rescue people." Zhang Lixian immediately ordered.

Now, this once passionate young man has become the leader of Yu Division's main force.

The sudden explosion made him immediately alert.

At this moment, Wang Zhong, who was patrolling around, suddenly had an idea in his mind. As soon as this idea appeared, Wang Zhong himself was startled. He hurried back to the mountain and found Ayi: "Quickly, contact Yu Xiaoqing.

Let him quickly lead his men to garrison the position and stop crossing the river."

"Why?" Ayi asked doubtfully.

Wang Zhongzhong roared: "It's too late to explain, this is an order, hurry up!"

Ayi hurriedly stood in a conspicuous position, picked up the chess pieces, and played the semaphore towards the other side.

Wang Zhong quickly called the liaison officer and asked the liaison officer to use the radio to contact Yu Xiaoqing on the east coast.

"Zhang Lixian, quickly organize everyone to enter the trenches to prevent the Japanese from bombing!"

"You mean, the Japanese plane?" Zhang Lixian reacted immediately.

"We were fighting so fiercely here, but from beginning to end, the Japanese plane never showed up. They must be waiting for Yu Division's large troops to cross the river and for us all to gather at Nantianmen."

"quick!"

"Let the soldiers find bunkers nearby to prevent the Japanese from bombing!"

Zhang Lixian also realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately ordered the soldiers to enter the trenches.

Less than five minutes after the telegram was sent, a low buzzing sound reached Wang Chong's ears.

"The Japanese plane is coming, everyone lies down!"

Now Wang Zhong did not have anti-aircraft guns in his hands to counterattack. With their current firepower, facing the Japanese planes, there was no other way but to be helpless.

Unless someone under Yu Xiaoqing on the other side can hit the Japanese plane with an anti-aircraft gun, it is doubtful that the US military fighter jets will arrive in time.

Half a minute later, more than a dozen black spots appeared in the sky. The black spots gradually enlarged, and the roar of the plane was heard from a long distance away.

Before they even got close to Nantianmen, they saw the leading bombers starting to drop bombs. The location was exactly where Long Wenwen and others gathered Japanese reinforcements.

Although Wang Zhong was anxious, he was helpless at this time.

The remaining dozen or so Japanese aircraft also flew towards Nantianmen quickly. In just ten seconds, they arrived over Nantianmen, and shells rained down on Nantianmen one after another.

Looking at that posture, it was clear that they wanted to raze the entire Nantianmen to the ground.

"Boom boom boom boom!"

The huge crater caused by the previous explosion is the best landmark. Japanese bombers dropped countless bombs around the landmark.

In an instant, the entire Nantianmen was enveloped by shocking explosions and artillery fire.

The escorting fighter jets on both sides also fired thousands of bullets at the densely packed National Army soldiers on Nantianmen.

It is unknown how many soldiers were killed in the explosion, and how many were pierced and torn apart by the powerful firepower of Japanese fighter jets.

Over the east coast, US military fighter jets had just appeared, and Japanese bombers were escorted by the fighter jets as they withdrew towards Myanmar.
