Chapter 43
Now on the east coast, gunpowder smoke continues...

The devil's heavy artillery kept bombarding the land, and the deafening roar of the shelling could be heard from far away.

Yu Xiaoqing's spy battalion was stationed on the east bank. In order to prevent the Japanese from attacking, the only bridge standing over the Nu River was already full of explosives.

At this moment, a group of soldiers were putting the last detonator on the bridge, pulling a long detonating wire and flying back to the shore, and hanging the copper wire on the detonator.

"Prepare, detonate!"

A second lieutenant gave the order, and the soldier next to him pressed the pressure lever of the detonator heavily.

"Boom boom boom!"

The entire bridge made of concrete and steel was blown into sections.The huge explosion alarmed the soldiers of the Sichuan Legion who had just walked to the shore.

"what happened?"

"Those bastards blew up the bridge."

Liao Mingyu picked up the binoculars and saw this scene, and shook his head with a chuckle, this Yu Xiaoqing really cut their way.In his eyes, the cannon fodder he sent across the river was irrelevant at all.

But think about it, as the top commander in defense of the Nujiang River, in order to better defend against the Japanese army, it is understandable to do so.

At this time, a large number of deserters and refugees gathered on the west bank. Hundreds of people were in chaos on the bank. They pushed each other and crowded together in order to compete for the few locked rafts.

A cable made of four iron chains traverses the Nu River, and there are a few solitary small rafts on the shore, and the people on them are desperately paddling the water to the east bank.

The entire Nujiang River is more than [-] meters wide, and the current is fast. Unless you have superhuman physical strength, don't try to swim there.

"I originally wanted to drive the little Japan out of Burma, but now the Japanese have chased it from Burma to China."

"This Nujiang River is already the last line of defense in southwest China. If we don't garrison it, the Japanese will rush forward. Let alone Zenda, we can hit Bashu by rushing all the way!"

Long Wenwen frowned and looked at the chaotic scene by the river, and sighed helplessly.

Liao Mingyu put down his binoculars and said to Long Wenwen with emotion: "The terrain in the area of ​​Nantianmen is dangerous, you can see that the cliff and the dense forest that blocks the sky and the sun are simply natural fortifications, and it is really a man to guard it here. When it's closed, don't open it."

"These idiots just want to keep their black hats, hehe, they think well. They blew up the iron bridge and defended the river, but they did nothing to the West Bank side. It hurts the people who fled."

Everyone stood on the mountain and watched the soldiers on the shore. They saw that they had set up a human-shaped defense line to block the refugees who wanted to cross the river, but they rushed to board the raft, just thinking about how to quickly escape back to Zen. up.

There were at least 300 of them, and they dared to attack the common people, but they didn't dare to shoot the little devils behind them.

"The messenger, send two companies to scout the rear to see how far the Devil's troop is from us, and the others come with me!"

After Liao Mingyu gave the order, he strode towards the shore with a stern face, and the army hurriedly followed in his footsteps.

The shore was already in chaos, shouts and curses filled Liao Mingyu's ears, and the gang of defeated soldiers were still pushing and shoving the refugees, preventing them from getting close to the raft.

Liao Mingyu was furious, he took out his pistol and fired three shots into the sky.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The routed soldiers on the shore were taken aback, and the refugees scattered far away with their luggage, all looking at him in horror.The noisy voice instantly quieted down.

The sudden appearance of an army overwhelmed the routed soldiers.

Liao Mingyu walked up to this group of defeated soldiers and kicked the two defeated soldiers who pushed the hardest.Angrily shouted at them: "You bastards! What are you doing?!"

"The common people want to cross the river to escape, I can understand, the soldiers don't pick up guns to protect them, but instead grab a few rafts with the common people, what the hell is the reason!?"

"You care about Lao Tzu, don't you also want to cross the river, pretending to be a big tail wolf?"

A soldier who seemed to be their leader stood up and said to Liao Mingyu.

This guy was big and three thick, he pushed aside the few soldiers who were standing in front of him, and stood in front of Liao Mingyu with a rifle.

"I've crossed the river today, what the hell can you do!?"

"Oh!"

Without a word of unnecessary nonsense, Liao Mingyu fired without hesitation, blasting the broken soldier's head with one shot, and his body fell to the ground with the sound of gunfire.

"Fleeing before the battle, ramming the commander, it's not a pity to die!"

This shot terrified the routed soldiers, and they took a few steps back in horror as they looked at the dead body of the big man on the ground.

Liao Mingyu's sharp eyes swept across the group of defeated soldiers, and the murderous look in his eyes made them dare not look at him.

"The little devil is behind us! You bastards just want to run away, are you worthy of the rifles in your hands!?"

"Everyone, listen, my name is Liao Mingyu, the commander of the Sichuan Legion! I don't care which army you are from, now I will be incorporated into the Sichuan Legion, pick up the guns in your hands, and follow me to Nantianmen!"

"The follow-up troops of the Japanese army are about to come up. Do you think the little devil will let you cross the river safely? If you want to survive, just follow Laozi to repel the attack of the little devil. Otherwise, none of you will be able to escape!"

The routed soldiers looked at the fierce young officer in front of him and the well-equipped and murderous army behind him. They were extremely frightened. If they didn't agree, they would be stunned by others.

But thinking about it is the same thing, once the devil arrives, everyone should not want to leave.The only way is to repel the Japanese attack first and stand firm to cross the river smoothly, and then everyone nodded in agreement.

No matter what, the more people there are, the more confident they will be, and they will no longer be afraid.

"Dead, dead, count the number of people and assign them to each company. Xing Fuquan! Take your soldiers to the shore to organize the people to cross the river. Meng Fan is tired, and ask the veterinarian to carry all the wounded in the team."

Liao Mingyu waved his hand and ordered to go down.

More than 100 ordinary people on the shore, including old people, women and young men, all looked at Liao Mingyu gratefully at this moment, and some old people even took off their hats to express their gratitude.They knew that it was the officer who appeared suddenly that gave them hope of surviving.

"Xing Fuquan, let the women and children cross the river first, followed by our injured brothers and old people, and the men will stay last. Whoever dares to disobey the order will be shot on the spot!"

Liao Mingyu withdrew his pistol and stared sharply at a few men who were about to move.

"Yes, the task is guaranteed to be completed!" Xing Fuquan saluted immediately.

Looking at the soldiers of the Sichuan Legion with live ammunition, the men who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to get on board the boat also calmed down instantly.If they don't use their iron and blood to restrain these people, they will only mess up the formation again and waste the time of the entire team crossing the river.

Milong hugged Lei Bao, while holding Shangguan Jieci's hand, sent her mother to the raft, and said with a smile: "Hui Chanda, please wait for me, if... I can't come back, then don't wait. I am, just find someone and marry me."

He looked at Lei Bao, who was arrogant, and couldn't help but say, "Call me Dad."

"Fat pig!" Little Leibao scolded him as always.

"Haha."

Pinching his face, Milong didn't hesitate, turned around and followed the army.

Shangguan Jieci looked at Milong's retreating back and didn't say a word, but the jade hand clutching the corner of her clothes showed her restless heart at the moment.

After this battle, I don't know if I can see this straightforward and frank man...

Liao Mingyu glanced at the orderly river crossing team and nodded in satisfaction.As long as the people can cross the river smoothly, then a big stone will fall in his heart.

The setting sun slowly fell into the sky, he turned his head and looked at the steep Nantianmen behind him.

Whether we can bring these brothers home depends on this battle!

"Others, follow me to Nantianmen, the common people are behind you, remember your identities as soldiers!"

"You have no clothes, and you are in the same robe with your son! Brothers, after this battle, we will go home!"
