Chapter 263 Cao Gui's Debate
The attacking Japanese devils often rush towards Xia Yuan in sevens or eights. They understand that Xia Yuan is good at fighting with bayonets, and there will always be two or three Japanese soldiers who want to use their bodies to attract Xia Yuan's bayonets. The Japanese devils next to him are looking for an opportunity to kill Xia Yuan.

But Xia Yuan can always deal with the rushing Japanese army with a calm mind. Under such circumstances, the consumption of body and spirit is undoubtedly huge.

He looked down at his palms, his fingers were trembling slightly. Around him, there were corpses of Japanese devils lying in disorder. Ayi, who was in charge of recording the actual situation on the battlefield, witnessed Xia Yuan's strength and Xia Yuan's strength. In the process of bayonet fighting with many Japanese soldiers, he recorded the battle deeds of the heroic leader in detail in his notebook.

Even after Ah Yi was old, this scene was still deeply imprinted in his heart like a brand.

"I have never seen anyone as powerful as him. It is hard to imagine that this is a person seen in the national army. Even if I witnessed the entire War of Liberation and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, I have never been able to find someone comparable to him His strength is deeply rooted in our hearts, deep in our souls, he is a rare anti-Japanese general, and an indelible legend in our hearts!"

That figure stood in the twilight, stretched very long on the ground, and the shadow fell crookedly on the corpse behind him. In Ah Yi's eyes, he seemed to have crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

One person held on to a position, and the people around him were all dead.

Meng Fan limped over, looked at the expressionless side face, "Head, are you alright?"

Xia Yuan came back to his senses, looked at the curled bayonet, the empty magazine, and the bloody handle of the gun in his hand, casually threw the gun aside, picked it up and didn't know it was lost by himself. What fell was the weapon dropped by the Japanese devils, and shouted: "Clean the battlefield."

Not far away, Li Wula and Milong stood together. The two Northeast guys squinted their eyes and looked into the distance. It will definitely drive away the Japanese devils."

Li Wula didn't say anything, just stared blankly at that figure.

Milong was irritating Li Wula again, "You are not even as good as his toes." After speaking, 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 full of flesh, and no matter how cruel their hearts are, they can't watch this blocking battle from beginning to end. On the second line of defense, the Paozawa brothers fought with the Japanese devils. They went forward one after another, and the fallen ones rushed up again, pushing the Japanese army on the second line of defense.

The soldiers on the third line of defense had tears in their eyes. They challenged Long Wenwen to support the second line of defense.

Long Wenwen looked expressionlessly at the soldiers of the Sichuan Army who were fighting on the extremely far second line of defense: "No one is allowed to go without the order of the regiment commander! Let me watch them, and watch them fight to protect our army. How did the country fight the Japanese devils? None of them are cowards, they are indomitable men, and they are real anti-Japanese heroes!"

They stood on the third line of defense like this, watching the soldiers on the second line of defense fighting against the Japanese devils. The soldiers of the Sichuan Army who fell one by one made their hearts sting, and they looked ahead with tears in their eyes. , At this moment, there is a backlog of flames in everyone's heart.

Bula, Yaoma, etc. A group of broken soldiers from the shelter stared angrily. They found Long Wenwen and asked loudly:

"Why don't you go for reinforcements! Why! Exactly why! I'm going to find the head, where is the head!"

Long Wenwen did not speak, but stretched out a finger far away, pointing at the second line of defense halfway up the mountain. For a moment, they were silent, watching quietly, watching those former Paozawa brothers fall down one by one, they rushed towards the Japanese devils with guns and bayonets in their hands, their figures were so firm, they were So majestic.

Long Wenwen shouted loudly again: "How can you say that you have no clothes, and you are in the same robes as your son."

At this moment, they understood that Long Wenwen's words sounded very elegant and often on the lips.The cold heart in my heart seemed to be lit with a flame and was burning.

After the battle, they sat silently in the trench. They were always lively and not hot anymore. The extremely tragic battle in the afternoon made their hearts that had gradually become cold hot again, and they felt blocked. It's like simmering in a ball of something.

Meng Fan limped and questioned Xia Yuan: "Why don't you let us go for reinforcements? Why do you let us watch them die with the Japanese devils? Is it because of the soul you said? For the soul you said, let so many people Sacrifice! Why!"

Xia Yuan picked up weapons and ammunition on the ground without saying a word, put them in his arms, Meng Fan suddenly stood in front of Xia Yuan, looked at Xia Yuan: "Why!"

Xia Yuan said, "You don't understand."

Meng annoyed and said: "Little Master, since I was a child, there is nothing I don't understand. You are right, I don't understand, I don't understand the soul in your mouth. If I were you, I wouldn't do it for the soul you mentioned." And let so many people die."

Xia Yuan looked at Yaoma, Bula, Ayi and others who were standing on the trench again, they watched quietly, and the rout soldiers on the third line of defense also watched quietly, but every time Personally, I feel uncomfortable, but because of an order from their beloved regiment leader, there is only one platoon of soldiers left in the two companies on the second line of defense. row.

The soldiers of the two companies on the second line of defense were basically exhausted and dead, and they all fought the Japanese devils desperately.

If the head of the regiment gave an order to attack, they would have been able to reinforce the soldiers on the second line of defense to relieve their pressure and push the Japanese army down, but their head did not give such an order, but let the second line of defense The fighters on the defensive line stick to their positions, and the fighters on the third line of defense stick to the third line of defense.

There was confusion and bewilderment in their eyes.

Xia Yuan picked up the bullets half-hidden in the soil on the ground, picked them up and wiped them lightly, put them in the bullet bag, faced Meng Fanle, and met the eyes of a group of rout soldiers, and said, "Every line of defense is built Since then, they have been shouldering different missions. The first line of defense is to slow down the pace of 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 a complete system and complete artillery fire. Send any team Standing on the first line of defense will end up paying a heavy price in casualties, the palms and backs of which are full of flesh, who can decide their life and death!"

"The mission of the second line of defense is the most severe. They are responsible for destroying the Japanese army's vitality to a great extent, delaying the time of the Japanese army's attack, and destroying the Japanese army to the greatest extent. Why don't you give support? The Japanese army deployed defenses on our Nantianmen The situation is not clear. When they encounter huge obstacles on the second line of defense, they will mistakenly think that the second line of defense is the important line of defense of Nantianmen, so the defenders on the second line of defense will stick to their positions, but they did not expect that, Our real line of defense is the third line of defense, and they will never think that we have a third line of defense on Nantianmen. They will win with one of them, and they will be attacked by you on the third line of defense with full confidence! 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 defense system 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? Use it, who will play the third line of defense."

"One bang, then decline, three exhaustion. 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 what we have hoarded on the ridge is still force, the Japanese would reassess their attack and regroup their forces."

Xia Yuan thinks more clearly than anyone else. He has come all the way from the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and he likes to take a long-term view. The three lines of defense are facing Cao GUI's argument of "one effort, then decline, and three exhaustion". A brigade of the Japanese army With 5000 people, even if there is no artillery position, just relying on the number of people, each person can drown them by spitting.

His voice turned cold: "Even if they die, you can only watch them die! This is an order. For soldiers, orders are heaven! For me, any sympathetic reinforcements , will lead to the failure of this battle!"

"It's good that the Japanese army doesn't reinforce Nantianmen. Once they reinforce, we will face the attack of the Japanese army!"

The second line of defense is destined to be defeated under the attack of the Japanese army the next day. It would be great if it could persist for a longer time. The Japanese army attacked until the Japanese army was exhausted. At that time, if the Japanese army wanted to support the Japanese army attacking on Nantianmen, they had to consider whether it was of strategic significance to capture Nantianmen by themselves.

Any senseless attack is not advisable.

In that way, the sacrifice of the soldiers on the second line of defense will be worthwhile. Their sacrifice is not a sacrifice for no reason, but a valuable sacrifice.

The sky was gray and the sun was setting at dusk. A small group of Japanese troops launched an attack in the second direction again at dusk. The fierce battle lasted for a whole day. Released in major cities.

"Xia Yuan, head of the Nantianmen Shangchuan Legion, led a ten-member commando under the cover of night, passed through the heavily fortified rear of the Japanese army, rushed to the Japanese artillery position, and blew up the Japanese artillery position last night and early in the morning. It was dull like thunder. The sound of the explosion lasted for more than half an hour, and the sound of the explosion alarmed the defense troops along the Nu River, and alarmed us at the same time."

"The Sichuan Legion is doing well!"

"The 11-member commando successfully blew up the Japanese army, the anti-Japanese general Xia Yuan!"

Newspapers were spread overwhelmingly in major cities. At that time, the communication was not timely. When the soldiers on the second line of defense on the Nantianmen were fighting with the Japanese devils in the afternoon, the newspapers began to be published, and in the evening Released, the brewing began the next day, and people learned about it through word of mouth, chatting with people, or storytellers.

Some people praised the bravery and fearlessness of the Sichuan Army, which was the last line of defense of the expeditionary force.Some people think that these news were all fabricated by the Nationalist government in order to beautify the national army.Some people also think that the number of Japanese troops attacking Nantianmen was small, which gave the ten-man team an opportunity.

In short, there are different opinions, but it does not conceal that the Nantianmen Battle has begun to brew and ferment in China. One day, public opinion will explode.

And that needs a fuse.

The national army had already known what happened last night through Yu Xiaoqing. Xia Yuan, the head of the Sichuan Army, led a ten-member assault team to go deep into the rear of the Japanese army and sneak attack on the Japanese artillery positions. The explosion lasted for more than half an hour, and the deafening sound was like thunder. Same, endlessly.

And it was published in the newspaper, not long after the incident was brewing, the award from the national army was distributed to the other side of the Nu River, and at the same time it was publicized throughout the country. The national army has different opinions and cannot be unified. Some people fear war, some love war, and some maintain neutrality, so that the internal chaos is in turmoil.

The domestic situation is even more grim. Most of the territory in the country 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 war mood.

Therefore, the national army also intends to use this opportunity to restore the anti-Japanese sentiment among the people on the one hand, and to beautify the national army on the other hand.

Xia Yuan and the others benefited even more. With Shangfeng’s award order issued, in addition to the materials donated by domestic patriots and Zenda people, there were also a batch of materials approved by Shangfeng. After the materials were intertwined, there were very few left under Yu Xiaoqing. Although Yu Xiaoqing was not a famous general, he was also proud, and he admired Xia Yuan's decision to stick to the Nantian Gate, so this batch of materials was taken away. He ordered people to put it among the materials donated by domestic patriots.

At this time, it was already the fourth day that the Sichuan Army Corps was holding on to Nantianmen. The Japanese army did not give up their attack on Nantianmen. The remaining artillery of the Japanese army fired on the mountainside of Nantaimen. The roar was deafening and echoed in the valley.

The fierce battle began again.

Yu Xiaoqing observed with a telescope, "The Sichuan army has been fighting fiercely with the Japanese army for two days. It is still unknown how many Japanese attacks they are facing."

Yu Xiaoqing was confident, and his heart was 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, then his Yutuan could also withstand the Japanese attack for two days. .
