Chapter 680: Flag Sacrifice Slope

"Hey! Isn't this our Master Yu?"

Looking at Yu Xiaoqing standing outside the shelter with his men, Wang Zhong jumped off the SUV and took the initiative to greet Yu Xiaoqing.

"Greetings, Commander!" He walked up to Yu Xiaoqing and saluted again.

"Deputy Captain Wang has a good method." Yu Xiaoqing put his hands in white gloves behind his back with a calm expression, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

"It was all thanks to the commander's good command. He abandoned so many brothers and ran back by himself. Otherwise, there would be no chance for us peasants to make merit."

Wang Zhong didn't care what Yu Xiaoqing thought. Since Yu Xiaoqing dared to come over, he dared to tease him.

"Humph!"

Yu Xiaoqing snorted and said, "You are quite good at talking."

"I'm sorry, I'm always good at talking."

"Isn't this Deputy Commander Wang?" Just as Wang Zhong finished speaking, a military jeep came speeding over and stopped beside him. Tang Ji, the deputy commander of the Yu Division, got out of the car with a smile on his face. As soon as he got off the car, he bowed to Wang Zhong and congratulated him.

"Deputy Commander Tang!"

"Ouch!"

"What wind brings you here?" Wang Zhong showed much more enthusiasm towards Tang Ji than Yu Xiaoqing.

"Of course it's the promotion of Vice Captain Wang."

Tang Ji looked around but couldn't see Long Wenjian. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Where's Captain Long? Why can't I see him?"

"Here! Here!"

As soon as Tang Ji finished speaking, Long Wenjian came in from outside with the limping Meng Fanle.

"Why are there so many people here today?"

"Hey! The commander is here too."

"Deputy Commander Tang is here too!"

"Welcome, welcome!"

"You two are so honored to have come to my humble abode. It is such an honor to have you here! It is such an honor to have you here!"

"okay!"

"Stop smiling so frivolously. Since the higher-ups have asked you to reorganize the Sichuan Army and assist the Yu Division in strengthening the river defense, you have to shoulder this responsibility."

Yu Xiaoqing said with a serious look: "I have already arranged everything for our main position. Now the only thing left is Jiqipo. Since the superiors asked you to reorganize the Sichuan Army and assist the Yu Division in consolidating the river defense, then you should go to Jiqipo and fill the remaining gap."

"Yes! Master!"

When he was assigned a defense zone, Long Wenjian's eyes lit up instantly.

Yu Xiaoqing glanced at Wang Zhong and without further delay, he got into the car and hurried away with Zhang Lixian and the others.

Tang Ji, the old yin-yang man, smiled and congratulated Long Wenjian and Wang Zhong again, saying a bunch of nice things, which were nothing more than saying that the Japanese invaders were approaching and the river defense was under great pressure, so he asked them to quickly follow the instructions from their superiors and recruit soldiers to station at Jieqipo to guard against the Japanese army that might launch an attack at any time.

"If you still need anything, just let me know. The commander and I will do our best to apply for you!"

Such high-sounding words are just to fool Doubing and others. Wang Zhong and Long Wenjian are both smart people and will not take the old man's words seriously.

Although they had not had much dealings with this old guy, just by looking at Tang Ji's attitude and tone of voice towards them, they could roughly tell that this old guy was not as kind as he looked.

As soon as Tang Ji finished speaking, Wang Zhong's eyes lit up and he immediately said, "Deputy Division Commander Tang is indeed a timely help to our Sichuan Army Corps. The Corps Commander and I are worried about food and grass. Since Deputy Division Commander Tang has spoken, we will not be polite!"

"As the saying goes, 'food and fodder must go before the army moves'. Now if our Sichuan Army wants to make up the shortfall, we have to absorb a large number of defeated soldiers from around Zenda. If we don't have enough food and fodder, even if we recruit people and make up the shortfall, we won't be able to keep them."

"Besides, if the brothers don't even have enough food to eat, how can they have the energy to fight the Japanese?"

Wang Zhong's climbing up the ladder stunned Tang Ji. He just said it casually, just for show, and didn't intend for Wang Zhong and others to take it seriously. But Wang Zhong really took it seriously and even made a request in front of a group of defeated soldiers. If Tang Ji refused, then what he said just now would be nonsense.

"That's easy. After I go back, I will immediately ask my superiors to transfer food and fodder to us. I will never let the brothers go hungry."

"Then we will wait for good news from Deputy Commander Tang."

"Okay, okay! I'm busy with military duties, so I won't stay any longer! Goodbye!"

Tang Ji hurriedly bowed and said goodbye to the two of them. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, Wang Zhong, this shameless guy, would continue to blackmail him.

Watching Tang Ji leave in disgrace, Wang Zhong shook his head and said nothing. Meng was annoyed, dragging his broken leg to Wang Zhong and said, "Instead of asking the old man for supplies, you might as well ask Yu Xiaoqing directly. With Yu Xiaoqing's personality, he won't shortchange us since he has been appointed by the higher-ups."

Wang Zhong said: "You also said that Yu Xiaoqing would not be short of our supplies, so why should I ask him for it?"

"If I ask him for help, will he still squeeze out the rations of his main force and give them to us?"

Meng Fanle was stunned by what Wang Zhong said. Obviously, he did not expect Wang Zhong to answer like this.

"My dear!"

"You went to rob the armory?"

As soon as Tang Ji left, Long Wenjian, who had already impatiently run to the back of the military truck to check what was being transported on the truck, started screaming in shock!

"Sixty mortar!"

"Eighty-second mortar!"

"Seven-five mountain cannon!"

“All American equipment.”

"Oh my goodness! They even brought anti-aircraft machine guns!"

It was not until he saw the two anti-aircraft machine guns installed in the last vehicle that Long Wenjian's eyes lit up like two light bulbs.

The anti-aircraft machine gun is the most powerful weapon against enemy air forces, without a doubt. With these two anti-aircraft machine guns, the Japanese planes have to fly around the Nujiang River.

"Alright, stop howling, quickly call for help and get all the weapons up to the battlefield!"

Now, there are more than 200 cannon fodders who followed them back from the other side intact. These people are not here to eat for nothing.

"Messenger!" "Within three meters!"

Long Wenjian immediately shouted loudly that Meng was fanning. Meng Quezi cursed Long Wenjian countless times in his heart, but since a higher-ranking official can crush a person, he had to run to Long Wenjian obediently.

"Go, call out everyone who can move, grab weapons and equipment and assemble."

In fact, quite a few people had already gathered outside the shelter. Yao Ma, Dou Bing, Kang Ya and others had all been watching the show nearby.

"Didn't you hear what our commander said? Hurry up, grab your weapons and equipment, and gather at the battlefield!" Meng Fanle shouted at everyone at the top of his voice.

The cannon fodders quickly ran back to the house to get their weapons and equipment.

Wang Zhong came up to Long Wenjian, took out the letter of appointment he had prepared long ago, and handed it over: "From today on, you are the official commander of the Sichuan Army!"

As he spoke, he led Bula and Milong to salute Long Wenjian respectfully, and shouted loudly: "Master, Commander!"

Long Wenjian looked at the letter of authorization in his hand, quickly scanning the contents on it, and finally fixed his eyes on the signature, seal and time at the back.

Even though he had been the head of the Sichuan Army for nearly a month, when he saw the letter of appointment, Long Wenjian couldn't help but show joy on his face.

Wang Zhong smiled and walked to Long Wenjian's side. He raised his hand and patted his shoulder, saying, "I'll leave this to you. I'll go check on the wounded, Commander."

After saying this, without waiting for Long Wenjian's answer, he stopped Bula and Milong who wanted to follow him, and rushed alone to the place where the wounded were settled in the city.

When Long Wenjian came to his senses, Wang Zhong had already walked away. Looking at the letter of appointment in his hand and then at the direction where Wang Zhong disappeared, Long Wenjian's eyes gradually became complicated.

Long Wenjian knew what Wang Zhong meant. This meant that he was also going to be responsible for building fortifications and arranging manpower for defense. Naturally, Long Wenjian would not have any objection to this.

He immediately led a group of fully armed cannon fodder and followed the truck to the Flag Sacrifice Hill.

At this time, the Japanese troops on the other side were still stationed at Nantianmen, but had no intention of attacking. Long Wenjian directed the cannon fodder to dig trenches and build fortifications, while watching the cannon fodder unload the weapons from the carriages one by one, his eyes filled with excitement.

"Why are you so excited? None of us can use these iron-clad weapons!" The messenger next to him suddenly poured a basin of cold water on his passionate blood. The excited imagination of using these weapons to defeat the Japanese and make them retreat step by step and become completely routed also brought Long Wenjian back to reality.

"If there is no one to help you, won't you find someone?" Long Wenjian kicked Meng Fan in annoyance and continued to look at this batch of American heavy weapons with interest.

Meng Fanle, who was kicked, was a little indignant. What he said was the truth, not nonsense.

On the other side, in the temporary hospital provided by Mr. He, a local squire in Zenda, veterinarians were checking the recovery of the wounds of the wounded one by one, changing the dressings for those who needed to be changed, and carrying away and burying those who needed to be carried away directly.

"Brother!" Wang Zhong had just walked in when Xiaozui, who was wearing a white nurse's uniform, was walking to the side with a basin of gauze that had just been removed. When she saw Wang Zhong, she took the initiative to greet him.

"Where's your mask?" Wang Zhong frowned immediately, looking serious.

Xiaozui then remembered that he had taken off his mask after resting for a while with the veterinarian after changing the medicine for several wounded people. He hurriedly put down the wooden basin in his hand, took out the mask from his pocket and put it on.

"Don't be so careless next time. Go get busy!"

Xiaozui hurried over with a large basin full of gauze.

Normally, these used gauze should be thrown away, but medical supplies are in short supply now. After these used gauze are cleaned, boiled in a pot for disinfection, and then dried before being reused.

Xiaozui came to the temporary hospital on the third day after Wang Zhong returned to Zenda and became one of the nurses in the hospital. Because there were a large number of wounded, fewer people could not take care of them all. Wang Zhong discussed with the veterinarian and found a dozen hardworking women in Zenda City and hired them as temporary nurses to help take care of the wounded.

“Are you back?” The veterinarian glanced at Wang Zhong and lowered his head again.

"Yeah!" Wang nodded, "How have you been doing in the past few days since I was away?"

"Six seriously injured people didn't survive, the rest are okay." Although he has long been accustomed to life and death, when the veterinarian mentioned these things, his tone couldn't help but be a little gloomy.

Wang nodded, took out two boxes of amoxicillin from his arms and handed them to the veterinarian: "I got this in the provincial capital, you can use it as you see fit!"

“Amoxicillin?” The veterinarian’s eyes lit up immediately. He turned to look at Wang Zhong and asked, “Only these two boxes? No more?”

"Do you think this thing is cabbage? Is it so easy to get?" Wang Zhong said unhappily. Nowadays, amoxicillin is a miracle drug among miracle drugs. Having this thing is equivalent to having an extra life.

"Hey!"

After being happy, the veterinarian couldn't help but sigh, and said with some regret: "If you had come back a few days earlier, maybe those seriously injured people could have been saved."

"You came back too early. It's useless if you don't get the medicine!" Wang Zhong comforted the veterinarian.

Although veterinarians are often mocked by cannon fodder as veterinarians who treat livestock, if he is a military doctor, he will be treated as if they were livestock.

But in today's world, it is already good to have a veterinarian accompanying the army. For example, there are many guerrillas in many battlefields behind enemy lines who cannot even find a local doctor when they are injured.

"Did your trip to the provincial capital go smoothly this time?" The veterinarian carefully put away the medicine.

"It's OK. The medical supplies in the provincial capital are also tight. I heard that the battle with the Japanese in Changsha is intense. Most of the medicines in the country have been sent to Changsha."

Now is the time when the Second Battle of Changsha is at its most brutal. Both sides have invested a large number of troops, weapons and ammunition, and the casualties are very heavy.

The veterinarian nodded and said, "Yes, Li Liansheng can now walk normally. He should be able to be discharged from the hospital after a few more days of care."

"Li Liansheng?"

Wang Zhong said: "This guy is really tough. He managed to get through this."

The veterinarian nodded: "It's just a lame leg, it will be just like a nuisance from now on."

"A lame leg doesn't mean a broken arm. As long as you can still hold a gun and pull the trigger, that's enough."

"My eyelids have been twitching recently. Are the Japanese going to attack us again?" The veterinarian suddenly changed the subject and talked about his speculation.

"Left eye or right eye?"

"Right eye."

"It's possible that wealth is on the left and disaster is on the right!"

Wang Zhong said: "It's been so long, that old guy Takeuchi Renshan must be getting restless."

It would take the Japanese army more than half a month to deliver reinforcements and supplies to Nantianmen at such a speed.

"Oh!" Veterinarian Hao sighed and said again: "If this fight breaks out, I wonder how many more people will die!"

Wang Zhong was silent for a moment before he said, "Sacrifice is inevitable, unless one day we can drive the Japanese back to the island country."

Veterinarian Hao naturally understood this truth. He was kind-hearted and could not bear to see these young people losing their lives on the battlefield, so he could only do his best to help and save as many as he could.
