Chapter 724

"Won!"

"we won!"

The people of the entire Nantianmen and the entire west bank were in a frenzy.

The Japanese troops were beaten like stray dogs, leaving their armor and weapons behind. They fled back to Burma and were driven out of their homes. All the people under the high-pressure rule of the Japanese army suddenly became enlightened.
After a whole year and a half, the offensive and defensive situation finally changed, and the lost territory was finally regained. Although the price paid was high, smiles could still be seen on every soldier's face.

After discussion between Yu Xiaoqing and Long Wenjian, they slaughtered pigs and sheep to reward the three armies.

"How are the casualties being counted?"

Wang Zhong walked out of the temporary hospital ward exhausted, looked at Long Wenjian who had been waiting outside the door and asked.

"The losses of the first and second battalions were not heavy, with only about a hundred people including the wounded. On the contrary, the third battalion that stayed behind suffered the heaviest losses, with only about a hundred people left intact."

"What about the guerrillas?" Wang Zhong asked.

Long Wenjian paused for a moment before saying, "The guerrillas suffered heavy losses, with less than 200 people left to fight."

Hearing this number, Wang Zhong was stunned at first, then he sighed, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out two cigarettes, handed one to Long Wenjian, and put the other in his own mouth.

"Don't you not smoke?" Long Wenjian asked as he lit a match and helped Wang Dian smoke.

Wang Zhong took a deep breath, exhaled a puff of smoke, and then said: "I'm not an iron man. On the battlefield, cigarettes are the best thing to relieve stress."

Long Wenjian smiled, lit a cigarette for himself, extinguished the remaining half of the match in his hand, and forced a reluctant smile, saying, "Cigarettes are good things."

Wang Zhong said: "It's a pity that so many brothers can't get the chance."

"There will always be casualties in a war, and their sacrifices are meaningful," said Long Wenjian.

"I understand the truth!" Wang Zhong said, "Born in our era, with our legs covered in mud and blood, the sacrifices we have to make are worth it. If our sons and grandsons can live a peaceful and stable life, all the sacrifices will be worth it."

Long Wenjian was stunned at first, then looked at Wang Zhong with a complicated look, and said with emotion: "Yes, for a better life in the future, necessary sacrifices are inevitable."

"It's a pity for so many brothers. Many of them don't even have wives and children." Wang Zhong took another puff, and the lit cigarette butt flickered with flames.

Long Wenjian didn't know how to respond to Wang Zhong's words, as he himself also had no wife or children.

After taking a few puffs of the cigarette, he changed the subject: "What are your plans next?"

"What about you?" Wang Zhong did not answer, but asked: "What do you think?"

"Of course we should press on with the victory and expand our results." Long Wenjian had already thought about it, and now he was just saying what was on his mind.

Wang Zhong said: "It is inevitable to pursue the victory, but how to pursue the victory is the key."

"We had very limited familiarity with Burma, while the Japanese army had been operating in Burma for nearly two years."

"Now that we have occupied Nantianmen, it is easy to get supplies. But once we go deep into Myanmar, the battle line will be stretched and supply will become a problem."

"We can use planes to replenish supplies." Just as Wang Zhong finished speaking, a voice came from the side. The two turned their heads and saw the American Mike walking towards them quickly.

"Now that we have occupied the west bank, we can deploy anti-aircraft firepower, and our planes can also fly over the Nujiang River to help with reconnaissance and combat. If we take down the airport left by the British, then supply will not be a problem."

"The total strength of the Japanese army in Burma is at least one division. Although we won the battle and almost destroyed the Takeuchi Regiment, there is still a big gap between our strength and the strength of the Japanese army in Burma."

"Do you want to unite with the British in India?" Long Wenjian immediately guessed Wang Zhong's intention.

Wang Zhong said: "Those British guys may not be reliable, but they have suffered a great loss at the hands of the devils, and they definitely want to make amends."

"And do you think the Englishmen don't understand the principle of not allowing others to sleep soundly beside their own bed?"

"We can help contact the British." Mike spoke again. After the battle at Nantianmen, he had developed respect for Wang Zhong and Long Wenjian.

Wang Zhong changed the subject and said, "What I am most worried about now is not the Japs or the British."

“You mean, Tang Ji?” Among all the people Wang Zhong knew, Long Wenjian was not the one with the highest IQ or the smartest, but he was definitely the one who understood Wang Zhong the best.

"It's not just Tang Ji, but also the Yu family behind him."

"Now that Nantianmen has been taken, the Takeuchi United has been almost destroyed by us, and the entire West Coast has completely fallen into our hands."

"But precisely because of this, they are even more impatient."

"Strive for credit!" Long Wenjian slowly uttered two words.

"What are your plans?"

Wang Zhong did not answer Long Wenjian's question, but looked at him with burning eyes and said: "You are the commander of the Sichuan Army."

"Whether our Sichuan Army Corps can be promoted from an independent regiment to a division depends on you."

"What about you?" Long Wenjian looked at Wang Zhong with some doubt in his eyes.

"We don't lack soldiers to charge into battle, but we lack heavy firepower support."

"Although the Krupp artillery is accurate, its leadership is not good enough, and we don't have enough gunners right now. Commander Long, don't you think your artillery battalion is still short of a battalion commander?"

"You're going to the artillery camp?"

"My skills are suitable for guerrilla warfare in the mountains, but on the front battlefield, the role I can play is definitely not as good as an artillery battalion that can provide you with support at any time."

"Krupp has only trained about thirty gunners for me at most." Long Wenjian said helplessly.

"One gun can at least defeat a platoon."

"Mike, I need your help to contact the Americans."

"Don't worry, it's okay." Mike patted his chest.

······
Three days later, Yu Xiaoqing led the elite troops of the Yu Division and attacked the Japanese airport directly. Long Wenjian led nearly a thousand people from the first and second battalions of the Sichuan Army Corps and advanced into Myanmar little by little along the border between the two countries.

The little bookworm and some members of the guerrillas had crossed the Nujiang River and returned to the east bank under Wang Zhong's arrangement. The rest who were unwilling to leave the west bank built the first police station on the west bank in Heshun under Wang Zhong's arrangement, responsible for maintaining civil order. He Dashan, who joined the guerrillas first, was injured in the battle, but it was only a minor injury. With Wang Zhong's recommendation, he became the first chief of the Heshun Police Station, leading the Chinese in Heshun, Lianhua Town and the west bank to rebuild their homes.
