Chapter 672 Cross the river! Cross the river!
Time passed by minute by minute. Cao Lin led Kang Ya, Shebutt and others who were on shift change to guard against the Japanese troops in the direction of Nantianmen in the jungle several miles away from the fleeing soldiers.

Night gradually fell and the sky gradually darkened.

The expected Japanese scouts did not appear, or did not move towards this side.

In fact, it is understandable if you think about it. The Japanese army has suffered a series of blows in succession. It is obvious that Wang Zhong and others want to force the Japanese army to split up. Once the forces are dispersed, they will be easily defeated one by one.

The battle situation at the airport had long been heard by Takeuchi Lianshan. Wang Zhong and Long Wenjian's strategy of luring the enemy out of their hole was not uncommon, but they just happened to seize the opportunity. The batch of supplies sent out from the airport were the ammunition and various daily necessities that Takeuchi Lianshan specifically requested.

It's okay for daily necessities. The rations carried by the Takeuchi Regiment are enough to sustain for several days. The most important thing is the ammunition. If the Takeuchi Regiment wants to cross the Nujiang River, ammunition is the most indispensable thing.

Especially artillery fire. If there is no artillery support and it is just a field battle, the Japanese army will have an advantage, but this advantage is not great.

But if we add intensive artillery support, that would be a different story.

The batch of ammunition and supplies that Wang Zhong and others intercepted were the ones that Takeuchi Renzan urged Kodo Jiro to urgently deliver to Nantianmen in preparation for the next battle of crossing the river.

However, man proposes, God disposes. Neither Takeuchi Renzan nor Kojima Jiro had ever thought that in Myanmar, in their occupied areas, there existed such a large Chinese army with amazing combat power.

Wang Zhong and Long Wenjian's strategy of luring the snake out of its hole was a well-intentioned plan. However, even though he knew that this was most likely a strategy played by Wang Zhong and his men, Xiao Daojiro had to lead his troops out of the airport for support. In addition to trying to keep the ammunition and supplies, it was also to ensure the smooth flow of the logistics supply line.

However, the fighting power of Wang Zhong and his men was so amazing that they wiped out a squadron escorting supplies and nearly two squadrons brought out by Kojima Jiro from the airport, nearly a battalion of manpower in total, and they also lost the airport. All the commodity transport planes in the airport were blown up, and the supplies and ammunition stockpiled in the airport were also not spared.

Now, Takeuchi Lianshan on Nantianmen has become an isolated force, and this is the most dangerous time for Takeuchi Lianshan.

At this time, neither Wang Zhong nor Long Wenjian thought of taking the initiative to go to Nantianmen to tease the tiger's whiskers of Zhunei Lianshan.

Long Wenjian and his men ambushed on the mountain, waiting for the arrival of Japanese scouts.

Originally, Wang Zhong should have been the one to set up the ambush, but it was late at night and they couldn't light a fire. Even though there was moonlight, it was really difficult for Long Wenjian to cross the river in the dark.

Therefore, the person who ambushed on the mountain became Long Wenjian, and the person who led the defeated soldiers across the river became Wang Zhong.

Wang Zhong led the defeated soldiers and tied the hemp rope to a big tree on the shore. Looking at the rushing river, even though the defeated soldiers had great trust in Long Wenjian and Wang Zhong, and even admired them, no one dared to go into the water.

The river is merciless, and this is not just talk.

Wang Zhong tied the hemp rope around his waist, looked toward the low hill on the side, put his gun on his back, and leaned on a wooden stick that had just been cut from the nearby woods. He turned around and scanned the defeated soldiers behind him, then took a deep breath, strode out of the woods, and stepped into the river.

"Be careful!" A Yi suddenly called out to Wang Zhong and reminded him in a low voice.

Wang Zhong turned his head and looked at him, smiling, "Don't worry! Nothing will happen."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took another step.

Under the cold moonlight and watched by the fleeing soldiers, Wang Zhong walked towards the river step by step.

Ayi and the remaining defeated soldiers stood at the edge of the woods, holding the hemp rope in their hands, and watched Wang Zhong, who had tied the hemp rope around his waist, step by step into the river, watching the river water cover his shoes, his leggings, then his knees, and all the way to his thighs and lower abdomen.

Although Ayi had witnessed countless big scenes over the days, he couldn't help but feel his heart surge when he saw this scene.

The defeated soldiers nearby also widened their eyes, staring intently at the figure walking in the darkness in the river, and the respect in their hearts rose to a new level.

The river was surging and rushing fast. Just by standing on the shore and listening to the sound, one could imagine how fast the water was flowing. However, Wang Zhong kept moving forward without looking back.

The darkness blocked the fleeing soldiers’ vision, and the figure was gradually shrouded in darkness. The fleeing soldiers could only judge that Wang Zhong had not been washed away by the rapids by the rope that was still moving forward.

Time passed minute by minute, and the defeated soldiers had never felt that time was so long.

Five minutes later, the hemp rope suddenly stopped extending forward. After a few breaths, the hemp rope held in the hands of the fleeing soldiers was suddenly pulled three times with great force. Ayi, who was in the lead, staggered and almost let the hemp rope slip out of his hands.

"We're here!" Ayi's eyes suddenly lit up and he became excited.

"The deputy battalion commander has reached the other side!"

This was the signal agreed upon in advance. Wang Zhong had to reach the other side, tie the rope, and then pull it three times.

Because the distance was too far, Wang Zhong pulled the rope very violently three times.

"Quick! Tie the rope tight."

Ayi hurriedly ordered the defeated soldiers to untie the end of the rope that was previously wrapped around the tree, then straightened the hemp rope and tied it again.

"Hurry up and inform the regiment commander that Deputy Battalion Commander Wang has arrived on the other side and tied the rope!" Ayi hurriedly told his subordinates to inform Long Wenjian, while he himself organized people to prepare for crossing the river according to the plan made in advance by Wang Zhong and Long Wenjian.

"Veterinarian, carry all the wounded to the riverside and line them up!"

Just as Ayi was maintaining order and preparing to cross the river, Wang Zhong on the other side grabbed the rope and crossed the Nujiang River again and came to the west bank.

"It's the deputy battalion commander!"

"Deputy Battalion Commander!"

The defeated soldiers looked at Wang Zhong walking towards them from the river and shouted excitedly, but fortunately they also knew that they had to cross the river quietly. If they made a big noise and attracted the Japanese army, they would never let them cross the river so easily.

A Yi turned around immediately and saw Wang Zhong, who was holding a rope and walking towards them step by step under the dim moonlight, about ten meters away.

"Why are you back?" Ayi asked puzzledly.

Wang Zhong said as he moved closer to the shore: "I'm worried, so I'll go to the mountain to have a look. You quickly organize people to cross the river, don't worry about me!"

Ayi knew that they were racing against time. Only after crossing the river would they be completely safe. They did not dare to delay at all. Several soldiers immediately walked in front, and then veterinarian Hao led the lightly wounded soldiers to cross the river first. The uninjured soldiers walked in the middle with the seriously injured soldiers.

There were more than 200 wounded soldiers, more than 50 of whom were seriously injured, and only more than 300 were intact. Long Wenjian led half of his men to ambush on the mountain, and left the other half to A Yi, asking him to use these people to carry all the wounded across the river.

Time was running out and conditions were limited. The seriously injured who could not move could only be carried by tall and strong soldiers. Two people were responsible for one soldier. They held the ropes and followed the less seriously injured soldiers like ants moving house, slowly moving towards the other side.

When they were halfway there, something went wrong. One of the soldiers who was carrying a seriously injured soldier lost his balance and the soldier who was helping him was also dragged down. The three of them fell directly into the river. The rushing river water instantly washed away the soldier who was carrying the seriously injured soldier and the injured soldier.

By the time the remaining soldier stood up, both men had disappeared.

"Don't just stand there!"

"The river water is too much to save lives!"

"Hurry up and move forward!"

Hearing the urging voice from behind, the soldier swallowed his saliva, held the hemp rope tightly with his pale hands, and waded through the river carefully to continue moving forward.

Even though it took Wang Zhong less than ten minutes to go back and forth, that was Wang Zhong. He could see at night and had walked this road before and was familiar with the road conditions. In addition, Wang Zhong walked in the river as steady as a rock, which was no different from walking on land. Naturally, his speed was much faster than those fleeing soldiers.

It took the soldier walking in front ten minutes to grope his way to the other side.

The moment they reached the east bank, the defeated soldiers felt as if they were in another world. A team of more than 200 people was not short. Twenty minutes later, Long Wenjian led more than 100 defeated soldiers who were ambushed on the mountain down the mountain to the riverside, preparing to cross the river. Only Wang Zhong and his assault team were left on the mountain.

"I don't think the Japs will come over!"

"How about we go down too?" Seeing that they had reached the Nujiang River and the rope for crossing the river had been pulled, and they could return to the east bank at any time, Milong finally began to feel impatient.

His wife and children are still in Zenda City!
Thinking of his wife and children, Milong couldn't help feeling restless.

"Boss Mi is in love!" Bu La said sarcastically.

"Boss Mi! Maybe people thought you were dead at Nantianmen and would have run away with the kids!" Yao Ma, the narrator, also added.

The Sichuanese and Hunanese sang in unison, and the originally tense atmosphere instantly became relaxed and happy.

"Get lost, you may die but I am not!" Milong retorted angrily.

Snake Butt chewed the tender leaves of wild tea and said with a chuckle: "You treat others as your wife and children, but others may not treat you as their husband!"

"That's it!"

"She is such a beautiful woman, and at first glance she is the wife of a scholar. How could she possibly marry a rough man like you?"

"What's wrong with that rough guy?" Mi Long didn't take what everyone said to heart: "Do you think everyone is like you? What they said is just like fart!"

"I think you are just jealous of me!"

Everyone spoke in low voices, but in the silence of the night, even the low voices stood out.

"That's enough!" Wang Zhong shouted in a low voice, "Stop talking!"

"Don't reveal your whereabouts!"

"Boss Wang!"

"We have been squatting here for quite some time. If the Japanese were coming, they would have come a long time ago."

"Don't take it lightly!"

Wang Zhong said, "At this time, we must be more careful. We must not let a moment of carelessness lead to a disaster."

"The Japs are much more cunning than you think!"

"Takeuchi Renzan is the best among the little devils."

"He is not a deity, and he doesn't have any restrictions. How could he know that we crossed the river from here?"

Wang Zhong raised his hand and looked at the watch on his wrist. Half an hour had passed since they started crossing the river. The wounded should have all crossed the river. Now it should be Long Wenjian and the others who were crossing the river.

"You retreat first!"

"When you get to the river, cross it quickly. No need to wait for me!"

Wang Zhong said to the few people.

"how about you?"

"I?"

"I'll go to Nantianmen to see if there's a chance to kill Takeuchi Lianshan with one shot." Wang Zhong narrowed his eyes, murderous intent emerged in his eyes, and the air seemed to become a little colder.

"You bastard! I'll go with you!" Bula was originally ready to leave, but when he heard what Wang Zhong said, he immediately looked at Wang Zhong and said.

The others who had already stood up also stopped moving and looked at Wang Zhong in unison.

Wang Zhong said angrily, "Why are you going? Are you going to drag me down by following me?"

"Others don't know what I am capable of, but don't you know it?"

"I'm just going to take a look at Nantianmen and investigate the situation of the Japanese army. If there is no chance, I will withdraw directly."

"What are you going to do if you follow me? Do I have to take care of you then?"

Wang Zhong's words left no room for maneuver.

Several people felt a little embarrassed after being told that, but what Wang Zhong said was indeed the truth. Although they had followed Wang Zhong for quite a while, they knew Wang Zhong's abilities much better than the other defeated soldiers.

If Wang Zhong had gone into the woods, he would have become a complete ghost. The Japanese would definitely not be able to even touch his shadow.

"That's enough! Stop trying to be affectionate with me and get out of here!"

Wang Zhong kicked directly at Bu La, who immediately stood up and dodged.

"Are we really leaving then?"

"Get out!" Wang Zhong said unhappily.

"Don't forget, the person walking at the end should collect the rope."

"Be careful!"

"Don't try to be stubborn!" She said naggingly like a gossip.

"Bu La is right. Saving your life is more important than anything else!" Yao Ma also joined in.

"Brother Wang Zhong, we'll wait for you on the other side." Doubing said seriously.

Just as he finished speaking, the main shooter Milong slapped him on the back of the head: "Hurry up and leave! Stop pretending to be affectionate here!"

Milong is just a bit mean-spirited, but he's actually a very nice person.

Doubing didn't feel unhappy after being beaten, instead he just laughed.

Watching the few people walking down the hillside and heading towards the river, Wang Zhong did not hesitate, picked up the gun and headed towards the Nantianmen.

Since the Japanese scouts did not reach their side, as Milong and the others said just now, Takeuchi Lianshan certainly did not know that they could cross the river from here, and certainly did not expect that they would run here to cross the river back to the east bank.

It is estimated that Takeuchi Lianshan should have set up a trap near Nantianmen, waiting for them to jump in.

Because in everyone's eyes, there is only one road from Myanmar to Zenda, which is Nantianmen.
