Chapter 265 The Delighted Soldiers
In the afternoon, with the end of another wave of Japanese attack, the entire second line of defense was filled with corpses left after the Japanese attack, and the corpses were lying on the ground in disorder.

Xia Yuan ordered the soldiers to carry down the corpses of their comrades-in-arms, pull off their honor bars, and the broken soldiers on the third line of defense buried them on the ridge above Nantianmen, overlooking the entire Nujiang River and the entire jungle of Nantianmen.

"The second line of defense is already full of scars and can no longer hold on, and the soldiers on the second line of defense can no longer hold back the powerful firepower against the Japanese attack."

Xia Yuan couldn't face the attack of a large number of Japanese troops alone. The Japanese army was different from the American army. They had the will to fight without fear of death and dared to charge. Used to defend the third line of defense.

And just when Xia Yuan was about to give the order to retreat, good news came from Nantianmen. Yu Xiaoqing transported a batch of supplies across the Nu River on a raft and delivered them to Nantianmen. These supplies were weapons and ammunition. Jiang's soldiers said that there will be three more batches of supplies delivered to Nantianmen, and they will have to wait again.

The broken soldiers looked at each other excitedly, and the unconcealable joy was revealed in their expressions.

"Great, with this batch of weapons and equipment, we finally don't have to worry about lack of ammunition!" Meng Fanle was very happy, "Tell the commander about this, the second line of defense is saved!"

Veterinarian Hao pulled the soldier and asked, "Is there any medicine? There are quite a few wounded on the battlefield."

The soldiers looked at Veterinary Hao who was dirty all over his body. They looked like a group of rout soldiers, but they accomplished a feat that even elite troops like them could not accomplish. The Legion became the last force of the expeditionary force on the Sino-Myanmar border.

He was in awe of the fifty-year-old veteran in front of him. It was them who bought time to consolidate the Nu River defense line. It was them who resisted the Japanese army for four days. Nantianmen was still firmly in the hands of our army. The Chinese people once again saw hope.

"Yes, in the next batch of supplies, there are many medicines donated by the national army and domestic patriots." The soldier said to the veterinarian Hao.

"Patriots? What's that?" Kang Ya leaned over and asked.

"People who love the country. They knew that you stayed at Nantianmen to fight against the Japanese army in order to defend the motherland. They rekindled their determination to fight the Japanese army. They donated money spontaneously and bought a lot of weapons and equipment for you. Food, here, among these supplies are gifts from them." The soldier explained to the broken soldiers.

At this time, Fanla, Sisisila, Ayi, Snake Butt, Bean Cake, Yaoma, etc., all the broken soldiers who came out of the storage station leaned over, and they listened blankly to the soldier explaining to them.

Kang Ya asked: "You mean, we fought a war, and someone knew about it?"

The soldier looked excited: "That's not true, you don't know, your fight against the Japanese army on the Nantianmen has been published in the newspaper!! Wait, our company commander even got us a copy, I remember I Wear it on your body."

He took out a newspaper from his heavy clothes and handed it to everyone excitedly.

Kang Ya held the newspaper, falteringly looking at the words he knew but didn't know: ".Heaven.Gate."

Yao Ma pushed Kang Ya, snatched the newspaper and handed it to Meng Fan: "Go, go, I don't know a single word, you know a fool, annoyed, read it to us."

Meng Fanran glanced at the contents of the newspaper, his eyes fixed.

Bula said, "Quickly read it."

Meng got annoyed and read: "The last army of the expeditionary army is stationed at the Nantian Gate to fight against the Japanese invaders, to promote our country's prestige, and to shake our China. They used their young lives to cast a Great Wall and stand on the Nantian Gate to protect us. Thousands of people in the land of China, they are rare heroes."

The rout soldiers fell silent, and they listened quietly to Meng Fanle reading the contents of the newspaper. It turned out that the matter of their garrison at Nantianmen had already been published in the newspaper. In this way, it turns out that they are great heroes in the hearts of the people.

Dou Cake grabbed Ma, and said, "Brother Ma, we are heroes, we are heroes."

Yao Ma said, "Yes, we are heroes. I never thought that I would become a hero one day."

Want Ma smiled happily, with tears in his eyes, not only Want Ma, but everyone's eyes also had tears, and Meng Fan's eyes were also foggy, and his voice became louder and louder. The more sonorous and powerful.

"When the expeditionary army was defeated and the Japanese army took advantage of the victory to pursue them, they gave up retreating and stayed on the other side of the Nu River, becoming the last line of defense for the Zenda people. They fought against the Japanese army and bought time for the Nu River defense line to consolidate. They fought against the Japanese on the Nantian Gate. Kou, that is the last battlefield of the expeditionary force."

"Stay in the southern sky and fight against the Japanese invaders. To promote our country's prestige and shake our country."

Meng's troubled words were like a hammer hitting the hearts of the defeated soldiers, hitting their hearts hard, they were excited, they were happy, they howled loudly, they burst into tears, they never thought One day when I fought the Japanese devils, it would be published in the newspapers, and I never thought that one day they would be called heroes.

At this moment, the rout soldiers seemed to be full of strength. The appearance of this newspaper also strengthened their determination to fight against the Japanese invaders, and also strengthened their determination to stay at the Nantian Gate and fight the Japanese army to the moment of victory.

The soldier looked at them and said with a smile: "Hey, you are heroes now. You don't know that many soldiers in Chandari who were defeated from Dimian wanted to return to Nantianmen after hearing about your deeds. , to fight the Japanese army, by the way, how many troops are there to attack Nantianmen this time?"

Bula said to the soldier: "Five thousand little Dongyang, a brigade, fought for four days and failed to take them down, hahahaha!"

"A brigade of Japanese devils!" Shocked expressions appeared on the soldiers' faces.

"That's not true. We only have 700 people. The little devils just can't fight. Their artillery position was blown up by us. We can only use infantry to charge. Hey, it just can't charge. We are guarding the Nantianmen. We will never let it go." A little devil is coming up." Yao Ma also said.

The soldier in charge of transporting supplies was shocked. 700 people, not even the size of a regiment, at most two battalions, stood at the Nantian Gate for several days and withstood the attack of a brigade of the Japanese army. Going out, no one will believe that since the Anti-Japanese War, few national army troops have been able to win more battles with less, especially an army like them that is composed of skirmishers, lacks weapons and equipment, and has uneven fighting qualities. How to withstand the attack of a brigade of the Japanese army, who would believe this.No one will believe it.

He was shocked more than that, "Your regiment leader led a ten-man commando to pass through the Japanese defense line of 5000 people, and also blew up the artillery positions of the Japanese devils?"

Snake Butt said: "That's right, our regiment leader is very powerful, let alone 5000 people, even if there are another 5000 people, our regiment leader dared to lead us through the Japanese defense line to bomb the artillery positions of the little Japanese devils. "

The soldiers were shocked and didn't know how to describe it. Since the outbreak of the Nantianmen Battle, there has been no information about the confrontation between the two sides. Some people said that the attacking Japanese army was at most one regiment, and there would be no more. One Japanese army. The regiments were already very fierce. When the Burmese Japanese army pursued the expeditionary army and the British army, one regiment pulled out a brigade's front line. Therefore, no matter whether it was Yu Xiaoqing or Shangfeng, the Japanese army's strength to attack Nantianmen was speculated to be within About 1000 people.

But I didn't expect that the Japanese army had far more than 1000 people, but 5000 people, the size of a whole brigade.

The soldier looked at the group of defeated soldiers in shock. He couldn't imagine how 700 people held on to the Nantian Gate to fight against the [-] Japanese troops to ensure that the Nantian Gate would not be lost. believe.

"Then your casualties must be huge?" the soldier asked again.

The broken soldiers opened their mouths and fell silent. The soldiers said: "Five thousand Japanese troops, a brigade of Japanese troops attacking, if you want to withstand the attack of five thousand Japanese troops, you will have to sacrifice a lot of people. You are facing five thousand Japanese troops. Attacked, did not retreat, even passed through the Japanese defense line, and blew up the Japanese artillery position, you are heroes, great heroes."

The soldiers admired them and their bravery. These people were desperate to fight the Japanese army.

Meng got tired of thinking about the number of soldiers on the third line of defense. The soldiers on the first line of defense have retreated to the third line of defense. There are currently nearly 400 soldiers on the third line of defense, while only The next two squads, or even less than two squads, and this is only the situation on the second day of the battle, they have already suffered 300 casualties.

Of course, the casualties of the Japanese army were several times that of theirs, especially in today's attack. The Japanese army assembled thousands of people to attack Nantianmen, and was repelled several times by the soldiers on the second line of defense. I don't know how many Japanese soldiers were killed. That second line of defense was littered with dead bodies.

The soldiers went back with the news that shocked the national army.

On the Nantianmen, gunpowder smoke filled the air. On the third line of defense, the troops assembled urgently. Xia Yuan led Long Wenwen and Meng Fanle, and took the newspaper reporting on the Nantianmen war, and read out the contents of the newspaper. After reading the contents of the newspaper, when the excitement was over, no one was excited, and everyone had tears on their faces, with tear stains hanging on their faces.

Xia Yuan put away the newspaper, looked at them, and said in a heavy voice: "The appearance of this newspaper proves everything we have done today, and it proves that those who sacrificed on the first line of defense and the second line of defense The fighters on the battlefield proved that we stayed on the Nantianmen and proved that we have not lost! Everything we have done is worthwhile! Their sacrifices are worth it! Our decision to stay on the Nantianmen is right of!"

"The people behind us have not forgotten us! Our family members have not forgotten us! They are watching us! Watching us fight against the Japanese invaders! Watching us defend our home and country!"

"Life is a hero, and death is a ghost! None of you are willing to stay, none of them are cowards, and none of them are losers. What we do is seen by them. What do they call us? They call us heroes. Now, Who dares to look down on us! Those elites? They are not bullshit, they are being chased by the Japanese devils, we will show them today, an army that is not even a miscellaneous brand, and an army that does not even have its own organizational system. Incomplete, how to withstand the attack of 5000 Japanese troops!"

"None of us are cowards! None of us are losers!"

The fighting spirit in the hearts of the remaining soldiers of the Sichuan Army was aroused by Xia Yuan. The people they protected were watching them. Watching this battle, they became the heroes of this era and the heroes in the hearts of the people. The defenders were rewarded on Tianmen, the battle deeds of the defenders were published in newspapers, and the Battle of Nantianmen was publicized.

They are no longer cowards, and they are no longer looked down upon by others. They have become heroes, which is enough to make them die without regret.

The ferocious Japanese attack was far from over, but with this batch of supplies, the Sichuan Army Corps no longer needed to worry about the supplies. Xia Yuan decided to catch the Japanese army by surprise. He replaced all the wounded on the second line of defense. The soldiers on the second line of defense are all equipped with rear support submachine guns, and are equipped with three Type [-]s and four Czech Types to guard the second line of defense.

In the rear of the Japanese army, the captains of the regiment were having a heated discussion. The Japanese army who had experienced the previous attack found that the combat effectiveness of the defenders on the second line of defense was already very weak. Even when some Japanese troops rushed to the second line of defense, the enemy even fought against them The soldiers fought with bayonets, which meant that the opponent was about to be unable to hold on.

"Yaoxi, this is good news, the enemy can no longer hold on,"

At this time, a message from the national army was transmitted that the Japanese army attacking Nantianmen was on the scale of a brigade, 5000 people.However, the defenders at Nantianmen were only [-] defeated. In the absence of weapons, ammunition, heavy firepower, and various supplies, they withstood the Japanese attack for many days and blew up the Japanese artillery positions, which made the Japanese army unable to attack in a short time. Reinforce the Japanese army attacking Nantianmen.

Once the news came out, the national army was shaken up and down.

Yu Xiaoqing said with a shocked face: "700 people against 5000 people, 700 people against 5000 people! Who can do it today, who can do it!"

What shocked him was not only the 700 people withstood the attack of 5000 Japanese troops, but also Xia Yuan's commanding ability and unique strategy, and what shocked him was Xia Yuan's boldness. , leading a commando of only ten people, passed through the blockade area of ​​5000 Japanese troops, successfully blew up the Japanese artillery positions and retreated. Risking the court, he resolutely led a team of 700 people to stay at the Nantian Gate. He was shocked that Xia Yuan still did not give up and even did it when the expeditionary force was over.

Yu Xiaoqing felt ashamed.
