Chapter 269 Anti-Japanese Heroes
After observing the terrain of Nantianmen and reporting the results of the battle, the reconnaissance platoon quickly returned to Zenda with the latest news. One party told Yu Xiaoqing, while the other told Tang Ji. Tang Ji had heard the latest news. The next remnant company, and the Japanese army has no motivation to continue to attack, or will confront Nantianmen.

"Okay! Our chance has come!" After hearing this, Tang Ji slapped the table, ready his military uniform, and went to find Yu Xiaoqing.

On the Nujiang defense line, after Yu Xiaoqing received the news, Zhang Lixian said: "There is only one remnant company of the Sichuan Army stationed at Nantianmen. They don't have any reinforcements, and the Japanese army has already occupied Burma. If the Japanese reinforcements arrive, the Sichuan Army will not stick to it." Stay at Nantianmen, Nantianmen will fall, and they need reinforcements."

Yu Xiaoqing stared in thought, "Shangfeng has not issued an attack order yet, we can't leave the Nu River defense line yet, but there are many routs in the city, and many routs asked for battle to go to Nantianmen before, but due to the high water level of the Nu River, they couldn't cross the river. Now is the right time, you go to collect the broken troops inside Zenda and send them to the Nantianmen!"

At this time, Tang Ji just came in, and after hearing Yu Xiaoqing's words, Tang Ji hurriedly said: "Tuan, the fighting quality of the defeated soldiers cannot be compared with that of the regular army. Even if they are sent to Nantianmen, they will not be able to stick to the Nantianmen position. I came here with an order from Shangfeng, the Sichuan army can no longer hold on to the Nantianmen position, and will be torn off from the Nantianmen, and the Yu regiment will take over the Nantianmen position!"

"This is the command file!"

Tang Ji handed Yu Xiaoqing the order document that had been prepared earlier. This order document was also completed under the orders of Yu Xiaoqing's family, and it was prepared in advance, just to wait for this day to come, so there is a legitimate reason Yu Tuan sent Yu Xiaoqing to pick up the Fangchuan Army and garrison Nantianmen.

And there are other local troops who are rushing to Nantianmen, and they all want to get a share of the credit.

There is no way, the people of the whole country are watching, as long as there is an opportunity to show their faces, that is, the heroic troops fighting against the Japanese invaders will perform meritorious deeds.

At this time, Zenda Yanran has become a military base. Near Zenda, various legions are gathering, ready to take over or assist in the defense of Nantianmen.

After reading the document, Yu Xiaoqing raised her head and said, "Aside from Yu Tuan, there are also troops from the Central Army this time?"

Tang Ji nodded with a smile: "The Japanese army's attack on Nantianmen was blocked. They will never give up on Nantianmen. They will definitely send reinforcements. The Sichuan Army has only one remnant company left. They will continue to stay on Nantianmen. Not only will the Sichuan Army be defeated Light up, and the Nantianmen position will also be lost. At this time, the people of the whole country are watching this battle, and we must ensure that Nantianmen is firmly in our hands."

Yu Xiaoqing felt that there must be tricks in it, but Tang Ji's words were not completely unreasonable.

Tang Ji said: "The Central Army has already entered Zenda and is ready to defend Nantianmen at any time, and we will cooperate with them to help defend Nantianmen."

Yu Xiaoqing asked: "How fast is the central army moving?"

"Otherwise, why would they be the Central Army?" Tang Ji said: "The main reason is that the Japanese army will suddenly attack, and the Sichuan Army will not be able to withstand it, leading to the fall of Nantianmen. If we want to seize Nantianmen again, we will have to pay a huge price. , increasing casualties in vain.”

Yu Xiaoqing remained silent. Even if there was something tricky in it, what Tang Ji said was not completely unreasonable. If the Japanese army did not attack, it is very likely that a large-scale operation is brewing. With the current strength of the Sichuan Army, even if they all die in battle , and failed to resist the Japanese attack, so it is the best way to let the Sichuan Army withdraw.

In the evening, at the Nantian Gate, Xia Yuan received an order to retreat from Shangfeng.

Long Wenwen looked at the document in his hand, then looked up at Xia Yuan who was not surprised at all, and asked, "Did you think of this day long ago?"

Xia Yuan nodded: "The situation of the national army is quite special. There are many factions and there is competition among them. Our affairs are known to the people of the whole country. The meaning of this battle will eventually evolve from a simple blocking war to a political struggle. and political needs."

Long Wenwen didn't understand this, he couldn't understand what Xia Yuan was saying at all.

Xia Yuan said: "To put it simply, the credit is too great. Everyone wants to come here to grab a little credit to meet their needs for promotion. Therefore, when they see that the battle at Nantianmen is almost coming to an end, they will use the casualties of the Sichuan Army It is too big, and it is a legitimate reason to withdraw, to defend Nantianmen, and at the same time let their army appear in the newspapers, so as to achieve the purpose of being known to the public, and the results of defeating the Japanese army in the future can also fall on them. "

Long Wenwen looked up at Xia Yuan, and gradually became silent.

Xia Yuan continued to him: "Even if we don't agree, we have to agree. Your identity, my identity, everyone's identity, if we don't agree, Shangfeng will erase us. Let's replace the prince with a civet cat. The central army was found to pretend to be the Sichuan Army, and the credit still falls on them, so we can only obey orders."

Xia Yuan is extremely tired of the intrigue within the national army, and has no good feelings for the national army. Since the Anti-Japanese War, there have been many battles where personal grievances have escalated to war, and it is not uncommon to sell teammates. If we say that the Red Party is an equal Organization, then the national army is completely chaotic.

If the national army wins in the end, the result of the evolution is basically the same as in the feudal era. Those local armies are no different from the feudal kings in the feudal era. Once the central army fails, the various local armies will take over. Chiang's position.

Long Wenwen sat on the ground, looking at the distant jungle with dull eyes, unable to accept this reality for a while.

He turned his head and asked, "What are you going to do next?"

Xia Yuan said: "There are two plans, disband, or continue to fight."

He reckoned that after the Nantianmen battle was over, his mission was basically completed, and he would return at that time. Even he himself could not predict the final fate of the Sichuan Army.

On the South Gate of Heaven, the rout soldiers were sitting in the trench holding their guns. Veterinarian Hao was cooking for everyone. He poured some water into the pan, and the rout soldiers already knew that regular troops would come to take over the defense. Nantianmen's order, this meal, is also the last meal they ate on Nantianmen.

Bu La and Yao Ma, who had always been active, sat on the trench and lost their vitality. When they returned, they didn't know what would greet them.It was only when they were fighting on the Nantianmen that they truly felt like they were alone.

The smell of the food didn't excite them much. Everyone was leaning against the trench, thinking about something wildly. At this moment, they looked like a group of people who had lost their souls.

Xia Yuan came over, looked at them, and said with a smile: "I'm going home soon, what's wrong, aren't you happy?"

A broken soldier asked: "Commander, we have no home now, where can we go back?"

Another rout said: "Regimental Commander, we want to stay on the ground, but we will still be looked down upon when we go back. At least on the ground, we can still feel like human beings."

They are all worried about what they can do when they go back. After going through that period of having no goals and continuing to be like a group of walking dead zombies, Xia Yuan also considered this, with a smile on his face, "Don't worry, I will arrange it when I go back." Your life, even if I don't arrange it, the country will not give up on you."

The handover work is scheduled for 100 o'clock tomorrow morning, and this afternoon, the newspaper published that the Sichuan Army had withstood the attack of a Japanese brigade, and the curtain had basically come to an end. The Sichuan Army, with less than [-] people left, could no longer hold on to the Nantian Gate. There will be the Yu Xiaoqing Yu Regiment on the Nu River defense line, the Central Army and the Local Army and other three regiments will defend the Nantian Gate on the other side of the Nu River. They will continue the bravery and fearlessness of the Sichuan Army, inherit the fighting will of the Sichuan Army, and resist the attacking Japanese invaders.

He even issued the slogan of "Strive for an inch of land, and you will surely kill the enemy" to increase the anti-war sentiment of the domestic people, and the vigorous Nantianmen Battle did not dissipate because of this.

The Japanese army is also observing the domestic anti-Japanese war, and their intelligence agencies have also seen the domestic newspapers and the reactions of the people. This situation made the top Japanese army feel a sense of fear, and the defeat of the expeditionary force caused the domestic anti-Japanese sentiment to fall. It is underestimated that this is what the Japanese army wants. The lower the anti-Japanese sentiment in the country, the more beneficial it is for them to attack China.

However, the sudden appearance of the Sichuan Army, and the Nantianmen blockade, quickly aroused heated discussions. From the very beginning, they stopped their rout and faced the pursuing Japanese army. His combat deeds have reversed the low anti-Japanese sentiment in the country.

Afterwards, they blew up the artillery positions chasing the Japanese army and held on to Nantianmen for several days. It was revealed that the Japanese army attacking Nantianmen was a brigade, but the Nantianmen defenders were less than a regiment, even only 700 people, with guns and ammunition. There were only [-] guns, and most of them were unarmed. Their bravery was seen by the public, which aroused heated discussions among the public. Once again, they threw a grenade into the anti-Japanese sentiment that was close to death, and instantly set off a thousand waves of waves.

Feeling a sense of crisis, the top Japanese army felt ashamed of the brigade attacking Nantianmen. They decisively increased their troops to a division and mobilized them from the Indian border to Nantianmen. The Battle of Nantianmen was no longer a small battle. It is not a small blocking battle, but a crucial battle to determine political needs.

The disastrous defeat of the Japanese army will directly reverse the negative impact brought about by the defeat of the current expeditionary force, and greatly change the course of the current war of resistance. After all, the Pacific War has already broken out at this time, and the Japanese army is retreating steadily in the Pacific Ocean. It is difficult to support the domestic war of resistance. For the Japanese army, this battle can only be won, not lost.

As far as the national army is concerned, they think more about using this battle to gain chips in their hands to meet their political needs.

This is a critical battle, but it has nothing to do with the soldiers of the Sichuan Army, because this morning, they are about to evacuate Nantianmen, and Yu Tuan of Yu Xiaoqing will take over Nantianmen. The army and the local army came to take over the Nu River defense line. In short, this battle of Zen Dajing has become a place of extraordinary significance.

It can be described as a sensation in the whole country.

Yu Xiaoqing and the others used rafts to build a simple wooden bridge in a few days, and the water of the Nujiang River has basically stabilized, instead of the previous rapids, the waves were rough.

After the defeated soldiers had finished eating, everyone ran to the Nu River, washed their faces with water, and cleaned up their dirty bodies.

Long Wenwen yelled at the top of his voice: "Clean up, the head of the team will take us home!"

The broken soldiers washed themselves clean, and after washing, they helped the wounded to clean up the dirt on their bodies. On the other side of the Nujiang River, Yu Xiaoqing, Tang Ji, Zhang Lixian and others were already waiting. Not only that, the reporters who received the news of the handover, and Zen Da The common people got up early and prepared to welcome this heroic army down the mountain on the other side of the Nu River with various food and gifts.

The soldiers of the Sichuan Legion looked no different from a group of remnants after the Nantianmen battle, even worse than Zenda's rout. Their clothes were torn into strips and they were all dirty , The washed Nu River water has turned black.

Xia Yuan lined up, looked at the people waiting on the other side of the Nu River, turned his head and shouted: "Let's go, let's go home!"

Going home, for the soldiers of the Sichuan Army, is the initial expectation, but now they feel the most complicated and contradictory, because many people in the Sichuan Army have no home, Zenda can be said to be their second Home.

When they reached the middle of the bridge, the mayor on the other side suddenly shouted: "Welcome home to the heroes who went abroad to fight!"

Zenda's men, women and children all raised their voices: "Welcome home to the heroes who went abroad to fight! Welcome home to the heroes who went abroad to fight! Welcome home to the heroes who went abroad to fight!"

The soldiers of Yu Tuan in the distance also shouted: "Welcome home, heroes who went abroad to fight! Welcome home, heroes who went abroad to fight! Welcome home, heroes who went abroad to fight!"

Their voices were like a wave, spreading across both sides of the Nujiang River, like thunder, shaking the mountains and rivers of the motherland, and like drums beating among thousands of troops, shaking the soldiers' determination to fight.

In order to welcome the return of the Sichuan army, the people of Zenda lit firecrackers and beat gongs and drums. The entire Nujiang defense line was extremely lively.

The rout soldiers walked slowly. They watched the firecrackers blare and the gongs and drums blared. All of this seemed like a dream. Some people took pictures of the soldiers of the Sichuan Army crossing the river with flashing cameras. When they walked to When they were on the shore, the Zenda people rushed up and brought them beautiful garlands, as well as various fruits and food, and the voices of the anti-Japanese heroes shouted by the Zenda people could be heard in their ears.

They really became anti-Japanese heroes.

The Sichuan Legion felt that all this was so unreal, as if they were dreaming. They took the garlands from the people and put them on their bodies, and took the fruits from them and tasted them in their mouths. It sweetened the mouth, sweetened the tip of the tongue, and sweetened their hearts.

Many defeated soldiers of the Sichuan Army were crying. They used to be like rats crossing the street in Zenda, but now, they have become anti-Japanese heroes loved by the people.
